Nighttime bottle fight

One of my twins has been fighting her bedtime bottle for the past few days.  Now she does have a cold (love daycare!), so I don't know if that's the reason...but my other LO has a cold as well and has no issues with her bedtime bottle.  I've tried rocking her, faster nipples, burping, etc and nothing seems to help.  She'll take a few sucks, then starts crying and hitting at the bottle.  I've been getting her to only take about 3oz of a 6oz bottle.  She just seems to want her paci and wants to go to sleep.  She also takes her bottles during the day fine, it's just her one at bedtime that seems to be the issue.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Any solutions??  Thanks! 

 

Re: Nighttime bottle fight

  • Sorry no solution, but I'm going through the same thing. DS will fuss and fuss during the night time feeding. It's been like this for the past few weeks. All he wants is his bath and then bedtime. Then usually about 5h later he will wake up and want to nurse.

  • I can only imagine the value of getting both of your LO's on the same schedule, but what happens if you give her a bottle earlier or simply skip the bottle? Maybe she simply isn't hungry and doesn't want it? Or try giving it to her earlier so she doesn't associate it with having to go to sleep?
