2.5 yr old still wakes up for bottle in night

[busymum1985]

Hi everyone

This is my first post on this forum.
So Hello everyone

I'm after some advice/ help please.
My youngest daughter still sleeps in a cot in the same room as us and still wakes up at least every night for a bottle at night
None of my others were doing this at this age, she is quite a young in herself if that means anything

Any help would be really appreciated to break this habit.
She starts nursery in April
Thanks in advance

I don't mean to sound completely horrible but surely common sense can prevail here?

Stop giving it to her, she doesn't need it!

Either you need to go cold turkey and just stop giving it when she wakes or reduce how much she’s having for a few nights. The other option is to replace it with water. We did that when DD was younger, she wasn’t impressed but it worked.
It’s more the habit than her actually needing it

If you can’t face a couple of nights refusing to give it to her start watering it down gradually . She will eventually stop waking for it when it 90% water and tastes horrible. Get her out of your room if at all possible.

My DD was the same. I got all the tips of water it down, don't give it etc. She's just grown out of it and just turned 3 (coinciding with her finally sleeping through the night) I've found through all my efforts and ideas and other people's suggestions with things like giving up dummies, bottles and potty training - she's just inevitably done it all herself, her own way, when she was ready. Doing anything else has just caused anxiety, stress and upset. Whether you think she just needs time or a little intervention from you, you know what will work best for your DD.

Children over 1 shouldn't have a bottle as its really bad for their front teeth. Surely you know that you need to start making changes. Put her in her cot in her room and give her water from a beaker at night if she wakes. Your the parent but you sound quite disappointed that these things haven't just happened.

She acts young because you treat her young!

Cold turkey, it's the only way. My DS2 was like this but when he turned two I was like, enough is enough. A couple of nights and he was sleeping through, I wished I'd done it sooner! Why is she still in your room by the way?

Can I also say that when she comes out of our room she is sharing a room with 4 yr old twins so worry as she still wakes up in the night she will wake them up too.
We have 6 kids altogether

DS would still BF at night given the choice (now 2.2). We talked about night weaning for a quite a while then when he seemed ready (about 22 mo), we stopped. Barely any fuss for 3 nights and done. But it was very gently done
