Sleep
How to stop giving milk at night please??? My daughter is wanting 2/3 bottles of milk a night all this week and her sleep has been AWFUL since Friday last week, I’ve been having 2 hour sleep intervals and I’m so tired, she does have a dummy but she shouts milk whilst the dummy is in her mouth I try to ignore her but it doesn’t work and the longer I ignore her the more awake she gets and harder it is to get back to sleep ! She use to sleep at least 8 hours in a row and has always had one bottle of milk at night but lately it’s been loads and it’s hell

Yes she eats loads, she has 3 meals and snacks and I give a banana an hour before bed she’ll also have a bottle of milk to go to bed with. I did try that once and she just stands up screaming milk, so I give it so I can go back to keep as I’m so exhausted. It’s been like this since Friday last week, usually she’ll only have one bottle half way through, but last night she had 4 7 ounce bottles and wee all through the bed 😭 and also she has a tendency to pour bottles upside down and soak the bed so I just don’t really know what to do…
Maybe it's a growth thing? Or teething so seeking comfort? Maybe go to a local hub if youve got them by you and speak to a health visitor and see what they can suggest?

Thst sounds hard. Is she eating enough during the day with snacks? As their food gives them more nutrients than milk and fills them. What about offering water during the night incase she's thirsty but knows how to say milk? If it's just water she's getting she will get the hint she's not going to get milk and hopefully stop waking and demanding it.
