Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

bottle in the middle of night

Does your Lo still take a bottle in the middle of the night? How old? My DS has one a night. Pedi was okay with it. I was just curious if some older babies are still taking one.

Re: bottle in the middle of night

  • DS was and after his 1st birthday I handed him sippy cups when he cried out and after a week he stopped waking for it and slept through the night

  • My daughter (one on Thursday) still nurses most nights around 4am.  I am trying to wean that feeding to get it to 6am. 
  • DS2 is 19 months and gets a bottle at bedtime and sometimes he wakes in the middle of night so I give him one. He is so tiny for his age and loves that comfort and I love our snuggle time when its just the 2 of us so I don't have a problem with it. DS1 gave up the bedtime bottle at around 2.5 and I plan on doing the same with DS2.

  • We got over bottles pretty fast, but sometimes she wakes for a sippy. I just give it to her...whatever gets us back to bed. :)

    I know tons of kids that are almost 2 before they give up their night bottle...again whatever works.

  • DS is 14 months today, and still takes a bottle in the middle of the night.  He usually wakes up around midnight which is only 4 hours after his bedtime bottle, although he'll sleep until 6 or 7 after that and not need to be fed.

  • Only if he wakes up and asks for it.  He just turned 14 months last week, and still gets a bedtime bottle.  Lately, with him cutting all his molars, he's been waking up more, and he asks for his baba.  I have a hard time telling him no right now when it's going to help comfort him and get him back to sleep, so if I can give the bottle instead of Motrin or Tylenol, that's what we do.  Better than drugging him up!
