Our daughter at one point was a great sleeper, and would sleep through the night. That is no longer the case! For the past month or two she's been waking up every night at least once, typically around 2 or 3am. She wakes up screaming for chocolate milk (which her father has gotten her addicted to), and keeps screaming until she's gotten it. I offer water, but that is quickly rejected. The last few nights she's woken up wanting to get up and play at 3am, and takes a good half an hr to an hr to settle back down. The only way to get her to fall back asleep is to give her a sippy cup full of chocolate milk. I'm getting to be pretty cranky in the morning when it's time to get up and go to work as I'm just exhausted, and I'd really like for this to stop. I just dont think it's a good idea to 'give in' and get her in the habit of having milk in the middle of the night but my husband doesnt think it's a big deal to give her milk... and she DOES go to sleep after. Should we try something else?
