Anyone’s LO still not sleeping through the night? Mine wakes up multiple times and feeds 1-2 times. I am so exhausted and I’m back at work. 20 months of no sleep is honestly killing me. I don’t know how much more I can survive
It's quite normal for your child to stir and wake during the night. As adults we often wake up to drink water and use the restroom as well!
What's not "normal" is your child asking for milk in the middle of the night as this can effect the teeth adversely. Most likely this is a sleep association meaning they've developed a habit to it.
The best thing you can do is to completely throw away the bottles cold turkey. Yes, you will have 1-2 bad nights but it will help tremendously in the long run, not to mention hefty dentist bills! Offer water or just pat and comfort instead.
Good luck!
