I have a 18 month old daughter who still wants a bottle in the night Any suggestions on how to deal with this?


My daughter goes to bed around 6:30-7:00 o'clock and wakes generally around 6 am. She is usually asking for the bottle around 12:30 or so.

Answers:
Pick a night when you can be awake. Put her to bed without the bottle. When she wakes and wants one just hold her, change her etc. give her a drink out of the sippy cup. YOu can either put her to bed without a bottle and with the cup or with nothing at all. She will cry herself to sleep, but will be broken of the bottle. I did this with both kids. The first I gave a sippy during nap and she never had a bottle again, the second I gave no bottle or cup for bedtime and never had a bottle again. And once you do break from bottle, throw them out, do not keep them around. Same with pacifiers.
Get rid of the bottle! Give her a pacifier. And have her drink from a tippy cup during the day.
