Last can of formula 🥲

My baby turns one on Monday and we just opened the last can of formula. Bittersweet moment. But I’m hoping to get a break from formula before my next one comes in January! Does anyone’s baby still wake up in the middle of the night? He used to sleep through but the past 3 weeks have been hell! Sometimes he wakes up every 2 hours and wants a bottle. I DO NOT want to run downstairs for milk throughout the night 😩 How long is milk good in a cooling thermos? Maybe that’s an option???

My Son turned 1 on the 18th and his pediatrician told me to give him no more than 24 ounces of cows milk a day. So we give him 8 ounces in the am and 8-10 at night before he goes to bed. He wakes up 1-2 nights wanting a bottle, it’s habitual at this point, we are weaning him off his night feeding so he’ll sleep through the night again. Last night was our first night offering him water in a sippy cup and he was livid, he cried for a few hours, it hurt my heart but I stayed strong. I went to his room multiple times and offered him water then I would leave the room. Pray for us that tonight is easier 🤞🏼

Someone on another page also mentioned the water 😖 I already know it’ll be a struggle. I pray it gets better. I know plenty of moms that still offer the breast or bottle at night 😔

Have you guys tried a nighttime snack? We just started doing this with our 13 mo old. We do half a "That's It" bar (just apples & blueberries) OR a Fig Newton maybe an hour before bedtime. It's definitely helped her 😴 better through the night!
