Help! So my daughter turned 2 in October, she has a milk when she goes to bed around 7.30/8ish, she will then wake for a bottle when we go to bed around 11, and then again around 3am. Some nights she then wants another one at 5.30. Before waking at 7.30/8ish. She doesn't have milk during the day other than is cereal.
It doesn't bother me getting up and making the milk because im such a bad sleeper at the moment. But we have another baby due in 10 weeks, and I dont want to be up constantly during the night feeding!
She eats alot during the day and I've tried giving her porridge before bed ans it still doesn't change anything. I've tried watering down milk or giving her a smaller quantity and she will then just wake up more frequently. She even said to me at 3am that she was hungry. I've given her water instead, which didn't go down well!
Its worth to note that my daughter has never gone longer than 5 hours without a milk at night, she was born prematurely and had to have a special formula and set feed times to ensure her growth was on track. You would have no idea now what she went through, shes very advanced for her age and is bigger than her cousin who is also 2.
I spoke to a health visitor at her 2 year appointment, and they didn't quite know what to do. And said its up to be what battles I choose.
Has anyone else gone through this?? I wanted to know whether she will slowly stop wanting milk at night??
