It’s going to be a few nights of pain unfortunately, you’ll have to just get up and comfort him, and just let him cry It’s quite normal to still be waking up at this age but totally understand the need for sleep too! My first was more like this and I waited until he was about 2 when I could tell him and he actually understood that i’m not bringing the bottle in Good luck!!
We’ve started giving ours a watered down bottle so it’s less desirable. Lately she’s been waking up and asking for it, but now it’s like 3:2 water to milk and she’s not interested in finishing it and just goes back to sleep
Same with my bub 19 months. Still wakes for bottle of water or milk or boob. They're growing and if they're drinking then they're thirsty/hungry I say?
