DD 12 months just refused bedtime bottle completely ... ouff!

[wendyh]

Hi,

DD, 12 months has been off her food the last couple of weeks as she's had a chest infection, totally normal behaviour when she's under the weather. She's coming round to eating again after a certain degree of fussiness, again totally normal for her. I've had a few night time wake up calls for a milk feed on days where she's fed really badly, a big shock to the system as that is very unlike her! Anyway she's eaten a great tea tonight but has then refused to drink any of her bedtime bottle of milk. She could of course be genuinely full up but I'll eat my hat if she sleeps through till morning.

Anyone else experienced anything similar? Any tips to making sure my fussy little madame takes enough food & milk in a day to ensure a good nights rest for all?

Thank you!!

When this happens to us (DD is 2.4, DS is 7 months) I tend to try a dreamfeed just as we go up to bed. DD would ALWAYS take it - even now she never refuses milk! DS is hit and miss, sometimes takes it, sometimes doesn't - always worth a try here though, anything to maximise the chances of me getting 6 hours straight sleep!
