I know the advice is to not offer them milk during night time wakening because they get used to it and it'll turn into a bad habit, but SORRY, when my two wake they get a drink of milk otherwise, they would most definitely be up for the rest of the night. I have always given them milk when they wake - and this isn't a regular occurance at all so they haven't picked up any habits like the guidelines suggest!
It's hard going at times but just keep muddling on. Is there any way lo could be hungry and that's why she is waking up looking for milk?

OMG really feel for you hunni because all 3 of my boys have done this and yes it is a habit but I am afraid I gave in to keep the peace especially when you have more than one in the house you want them to stay asleep ;0
I ended up taking the bottle of them at age 3
My youngest is 2 in May and is exactly the same no matter how much I fill him up in the day he still wakes for a bottle in the night he sometimes wakes every 3 hours or less, knackered isn't the word, lol! I have tried offering just water so that he realises he can't have what he wants but no good. In the end they do stop but it is so tiring in the meantime, unless you are made of stronger stuff than me and make them go cold turkey" Good luck hun x

I have a 21 month old who is the same, also using SMA. Sometimes she wakes, sometimes not - also not always at the same time. I tried to go cold turkey but she screamed from 11pm-6am for a whole 7 nights!!!! In the end i gave up before she did. Is difficult having other children in the house as you don't want them to wake.
I will be interested to see what replies you get as i am also at a total loss of what to do.
I am exhausted and its making me thoroughly fed up!:(
Sorry no magic cure but i know how you feel

My son was exactly the same, and he didn't stop until we took his bottles away completely.
Stupidly for us, we didn't take them away until Christmas by which point he was nearly 3, I wish to god I'd done it years earlier!
He didn't make nearly as much fuss as we thought he would, we had 3 nights of maximum 2 hours fuss at bedtime, and other than that he slept straight through, which he'd NEVER done since birth!
My opinion would be remove the bottles completely and go from there x

my little girl is nearly three and she still doesnt sleep through the night, she does sometimes but the slightest sniffle or cough and she's right back to square one, never had that trouble with my son, so not sure why? we weaned her off of her bottle by about 1 1/2 and she was fine with that but the sleeping never really sorted itself out, i even tried to get her to take a dummy in the hope she would sleep better but she refused - the things you do for a nights peace???? lol

Hi there!
My 19 month old is just the same, but over last 6 weeks we have tried to curtail the night feeds (she would wake at any time between 10pm and 3am!). My daughter goes to bed each night listening to the same lullaby playing on her monitor. When we hear her start crying we switch the lullaby on (remotely from the parent hand set) and 9 times out of 10 she will settle herself and go back to sleep. However if she's teething nothing works - not even the bottle!
We are using SMA toddler milk too - she loves it so much its probably worth waking up for! I have started to give her a bottle of it after her lunch time nap in order to fill her up during the day as much as possible too.
I don't believe we've seen the last of the night awakenings but at least its not every night now.
Hope this helps.

Hiya. My daughter is 20 months old and she is still not sleeping through the night
I have tried rusk, cerelac nestle and no joy she has slept the the night 5 times since birth
I’m so tired and I end up wasting my mornings as I sleep in
She wakes up for a bottle I give her Aptamil and also tried alpo milk.
She usually wakes up at least twice
What shall I try doing?
Giving her water or not giving her anything?
Pls give me some advice
Thanks

Hi
My daughter was the same however I found if I gave her water instead she'd still want milk and guzzle both. In the end I watered down the milk and reduced the amount and then replaced it with water.
In terms of waking up I don't know if I should have let her cry it out but she's now 2.7 and finally sleeping through the night.

My boy has been waking too, he’s 14 months.
The HV advised me not to use formula during the night as it fills the little one up and may decrease their appetite during the day. I’d try normal milk and then water

My 22 months old wakes up occasionally asking for milk and I will give it to her if it's not too close to her usual waking up time. It's probably 2 or 3 times a week that happens and I think she just wakes up because she's hungry and not because it is some sort of habit. There are occasions where I can hear her babbling to her dolly in the middle of the night but eventually goes back to sleep without asking for milk. She is not crying or asking for us so I just let her be when that happens.
If she wakes up at 6am (her usual time) the first thing she says is BREAKFAST so she probably knows that if she's hungry at night she gets milk and if she's hungry in the morning she gets breakfast
Maybe see if she takes some water and goes back to sleep. She might be just thirsty and is looking for some fluids
