Hi all, my 14mth old daughter still wakes 3/4 times for a bottle tried water tried cows milk..nope she still wants formula, I’m drained. Her routine she wakes around 7:30 has a nap around 1:30/2 pm then bath cuddles story/song warm bottle and bed for 8:30-45. But come 11:45 it screaming I try to calm with dummy nope, tried water nope, tried milk nope, she wants formula and in a bottle. She has around 4 oz then sleeps around 2 hours and again screaming and so we go again, now she is definitely eating enough throw the day a amazing eater and isn’t fussy at all. But I’m so tired and feel drained through the day, my partner works and as much as he help I

Can you try reducing the amount a little bit each night, so that she adjusts her habits from eating at night to eating more during day? Maybe water down formula or just put less in bottle.

I know this is a really old post but for the pp that's still struggling, don't offer your child anything at night. Hopefully eventually they will stop waking up because the realise there's no point. No 14 month old needs a bottle through the night, or milk.

Old post but incase it helps @V1983 .... it could be that she is napping and going to bed too late so is overtired and waking, and just wants soothing with the bottle? My DC wakes at 7.30, naps from around 12 for an hour to 90 mins, and then goes to bed at half 7. Getting into this routine coincided with stopping waking for a bottle. If he goes to bed late we usually get a wakeup around 11.30pm too. Starting nursery helped too as it tires them out!
