14 month old and bottles

Hello

My 14 month old daughter has turned into a terrible sleeper.

Key bits of info:

By 3 months old, she was pretty much through the night.

3-6 months she'd wake once for a feed.

6-12 months it slowly but surely escalated to 3 bottles a night.

We're at 14 months old and she has 9oz's every 3 hours at night.

She has one nap a day, normally 2 hours after lunch.

She wakes from 5, proper fussy from 5 anyway. If she wakes from 6.30/7, she's in a good mood.

I'm exhausted. Beyond. I have a toddler too. We'll, he's 3 in February so still young. Because she has so much milk, her nappies leak through all her clothing and bedding. She'll sometimes fall asleep with her bottle (I do too) and it covers her and her hair in milk.

Should I wean her? If so, how? When?

I'm so confused and just don't know what to do. She's still in our bedroom
Because of the frequent feeding. She got too big for her next to me so is now in a travel cot
We're moving house soon, 3 weeks. Should I wait till we move to see if she changes amid the move? I need my bedroom back. And some sleep.

Thanks so much in advance. Xx

Wow, I really do sympathise with you, that's tough! I think you do need to wean, for your own sanity.

How is her food intake during the day? She may not be getting enough to fill her and so she's topping up overnight. Alternatively, do you have a partner who can do the night wakings for a week to try and break the habit of bottles so often?
