2 n half year old still wakes in the night

[Kma80]

Suggestions pls my 2 n half ur old daughter still wakes in the night for a bottle of juice but up to 5 times a night tried not giving into her but she literally won't settle till she's got it and it's easy to give in to her as I have other children that she's disturbing she has always done this this but I am so tired and it's starting to take it's toll

I am in ur same suitation... Waking up more frequent and scream... But nothing works water milk juice ...she ll not have anything after her dinner... I was like this since she born n feels so difficult with sleepless night...

It's exhausting isn't it my little one has been like since being born to she drinks so much which lead to changing her nappy up to 3 times in the night and just can't see her getting out of it any time soon

Swap the juice for water- it's less interesting.

I have tried that and she just screams for juice

Go in once giver her juice and tell her you won't be in again. leave her to cry, harsh I know but we have been going through the same as you and something had to give it was making me ill. Anyway we hard a HARD week last week but this week little one only woke once instead of 4/5 times. Hoping he will just learn to sleep through.

Don't know if it would work with an older child but when DS1 was around 14m we weaned him off the bottle. We did 6oz for a week, 5oz for a week, 4oz.....etc. It was still multiple times a night. The final couple of weeks were 1oz milk, 1oz water. Then 1oz water. He refused the water and then it was done

DS was the same. At around 3 he started sleeping through a lot more. He is now 3.5 and only has water at night. I remember fretting about it!

(He’s still in bed with me though )

Take a week when you can survive without the sleep and just go for it! Reduce he number of bottles in the first couple of nights til down to one then leave it there.

Sorry to worry you but a friend of mine's daughter was the same and they've just found out she is Type1 diabetic and was genuinely thirsty during the night.

It wouldn't be so bad to let her cry through the night if I didn't have other children in the house having to get up for school,at the moment the plan is on Xmas eve I'm going to see if she will leave her bottle out for Santa and he will leave her presents fingers crossed, and about the diabetes thing it's very funny as I actually thought about that today I'm going to speak to a doctor or health visitor tomorrow and thank you all so much for your suggestions I really do appreciate it thank you

This is so hard to deal with, i went through something similar with my first, maybe you can try and explain to her that she is old enough for not having the bottle now, maybe even give her the juice in the cup (start mixing with water and reducing the amount slowly) the cup is not as exciting as the bottle and she might just not want it anymore, or might just have a sip of it and a lot less, you will still be giving what she wants but not the way she wants it... worth a try... i found with mine though, that she had to grow out everything and around the mark of 3yo, she started sleeping through the night, so fingers crossed yours is just around the corner from getting there too...

I have tried the cup and try's to give her the cup in the day rather than the bottle but she has to have the bottle through the night, and I hope she do grow out of it very soon it would be absolutely bliss to get a full nights sleep
