5mo will only sleep with either bottle or beast in mouth, Help!

[Tangas]

we had established a really good feeding and sleeping routine, then I had trouble settling my son to sleep. I asked my healthvisitor and she suggested to give him a bottle to settle him. oh dear.. shouldn of done this as now he has gone off his usual feed times. Instead he will only take a feed to send him to sleep! Please help, i need some good advise on how to get back to our usual pattern.

Try the No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. She has a nice, gentle (but it will take a while) method of pulling off. It works for babies who feed/suck to sleep with breast/bottle/dummy. As only 5months it won't be too ingrained. Have pity, I'm doing it with a 22month old...

Thanx quirkychick i will give it a go. I take it this Elizabeth Pentley has a book? any ideas where the best place is to buy it?
(hmm)

you can find it on amazon or any good bookshop

i like your title "5mo will only sleep with either bottle or BEAST in mouth, Help!"

good luck x

here you dont need to buy the book! this is her website with book excerpts

PMSL at typo - sorry

Hope it helps. You can use the website, or look up other threads on it - that's how I found out about it or borrow from library. Full of lots of sleep tips so you make your own sleep plan (if you want) rather than a strict "do it this way". Good luck Tangas .

lol at beast in mouth too !!!

What kind of beast?

Oh my goodness.. I wondered what it was you ladies found so funny about the title! I've only just realised. oops! well at least you mean what i know!! Ha Ha....
