Our little boy turns 2 in March and feeds to sleep with his bottle of milk (9oz) and usually wakes around 1:30am for 6oz of milk. In all honesty its complete habit as we have never attempted to cut out night feeds just fed him when he wakes as it gets him straight back to sleep. Now approaching 2 I would have hoped he would have started sleeping through and dropping the night bottle but he wakes shouting for "mummy daddy bot bot" and cries.
The last 3 nights I have offered water or nothing and hes been okay but has still been waking at some point. He has been settling with a cuddle and some singing BUT hes been starting the day at 5am 😩 !!!! He woke up this morning so upset at 5am and angry when I offered milk or singing. Once I calmed him down and accepted he was probably up for the day he ate a whole bowl of cereal immediately once downstairs .
Can someone please tell me your experiences of cutting back night feeds.. do I keep persisting? I know if I offered him a bottle in his cot at 5am he would probably go back to sleep till 7ish
