If he wants a bottle, give him a sippy cup instead (get the kind that won't leak if it tips over while he's sleeping).
If he wants to sleep in your bed once in a while, let him. There is no real harm in it at that age, but don't let it happen every night or it will be harder to break when he is older.

Him wanting a bottle is not because he is hungry or thirsty, he just wants the comfort of what it brings him. It took me a long time to break my daughter from the bottle @ night, but now they have sippy cups with rubber mouth piece lids that I think would work great, only put water in it. And as far as him getting in bed with you, my daughter is now ten and she sleep with me from day one up until she was 8! I know it isn't the best, but they will grow up and there is nothing better then having the feeling of them wanting you!! Enjoy it! Good luck!!

provide him the bottle. My son is 13 months previous and nonetheless wakes up frequently for a bottle. What I even have been attempting to do is honestly purple meat him up for the period of the day, feed him plenty and usually. as quickly as I do this he frequently sleeps for the period of the night. After he wakes up I feed him some style of oatmeal breakfast, frequently blended with fruit. approximately an hour to an hour and a a million/2 later he's waiting for an 9 ouncesbottle and his morning nap. He sleeps for 2 hours then I feed him some style of veggie. once I feed him I frequently provide him a sippy-cup w/ juice. he's sturdy for about 3-4 hours then I lay him down with yet another bottle for his 2d nap. He sleeps approximately an hour. whilst he wakes up he performs for about an hour, I provide him some finger ingredients like cheerios in this time. approximately an hour later I feed him dinner and if he's keen to consume extra i will feed him some fruit too. Then he has a bottle in the previous mattress. as quickly as I save on with the above schedule he sleeps for the period of the night. that's the cases whilst i'm busy and not continuously putting food infront of him that he wakes up wanting a ineffective night feeding. sturdy luck :) (My son is in the fiftieth percentilre for weight on fiftieth percentile for top)

Take it from me!! ALWAYS, put him back in his bed when he wakes up. It is a pain and you will lose sleep, but you have to do it NOW. I am currently sleeping with my husband, my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son. I never listened to anyone when they told me "don't get them started doing that"> now it is a constant battle. They cry when we put them in their beds. Now we let them get to sleep then move them. Unfortunately, they wake up during the night and sneak in our room. They are very good at it. We don't even know they are there until the next morning.

When he wakes up, just take him back to his bed and tuck him back in. Do not give him a bottle, it will rot his teeth out. And don't let him sleep in your bed or you'll never get him out. If he gets back up, just take him back to his bed. Be patient. It might take a little while, but eventually he'll get the message.

I have the same prob and was told to be firm with him. Don't continue to fill his cup and comfort him when he wakes up. So far I have gotten down to waking up once per night and im sleeping on the floor in my room. Hey its better than my bed!!

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. My daugter is 3 years old wakes up at night, call daddy,not mom,i picked her up carry her to our bed gave her a bottle lukewarm milk and let her sleep with us in the bed. Enjoy that they grew up so fast,i treasure every moment that i still have with her.

i would go to walmart and get a sippy cup and try to break him from the bottle. and him still wanting to sleep with you i would maybe try a little toddler bed in your room for amonth or so and the try to move him to his own room with a night light.

there is nothing unusual about that, a lot of toddlers are like that you just have to be loving but firm slowly bring him off the bottle and put him back in his bed when he fall asleep

You need to break him of this habit before he is 7 and still sleeping in your bed. Let him cry himself to sleep in his own bed.
