10 Month old son still drinking milk at night
| Mon, 07-25-2011 - 11:18am |
I was just wondering what everyones view is on this subject - my 10-month-old still wakes up once a night to have a 7oz bottle of 100% whole milk. Should he be weaned off that or do you think when he is ready to stop drinking at night he will?
I have had debates about this with some people at home and its a little bit of a mix here and there - some say to just let him CIO and others say when the baby is ready then he will just transition and we should not force him to not eat and such. The pediatrician said her children ate at night until they were about 15 months and when she cut them off them they were able to just adjust better than when she tried at a younger age.

I am pretty sure that my daughter was waking up in the middle of the night to eat at that age... Or we stopped the nights feedings around that age.
good luck!
My younger son only started sleeping through the night at 11 months -- before that we would want to nurse once (after I finally got him to stop waking up 6+ times) in the early morning.
I am torn on this one b/c I think after a while it becomes a habit more than a necessity.
scmommy8 : Thanks for the information. Sometimes I am not too sure either because when I walk into his room I can hear his tummy making a ton of hunger noises so then I go and get him a bottle. What I was told to do is to start watering down the milk until he ends up just having pure water and he will eventually just dismiss the bottle because it isn't what he wants. Has anyone done that before?

Sucky clip!
My son definitely has problems self soothing.
My 2 yo DD still gets a sippie cup of milk at night and I don't see it as a problem. I was never able to le my kids CIO I always felt to bad. I didn't give my kids milk till i stopped the formula at a year though and thats when i took away the bottle all together and traded it for a sippie. Ultimatly your the mom trust your gut :)

I have a sucky clip but I am concerned it may get tangled around his neck?
Where do you clip his sucky clip to his shirt - on his sleeve or somewhere else on the shirt?? I've been wondering what is the safest but easiest place for them to realize it is right there with him.
