im a mother of three kids how do i stop them waking up in the nite looking for milk in there bottles help?

Answer 1

depends how old they are. if they are babies feed them or else social services will get involved.

Answer 2

All 3 need milk in their bottles? If they are "waking up" for a bottle, than I say feed them. They are ALL under 1 year? By age 1 a child should also be having food, so are they not eating enough for dinner? You haven't really said to much about the children, but if they want milk, or food, - I would feed them..

Answer 3

The best way is to give a decent feed before they go down at night, If they wake in the middle of the night don't turn lights on or speak to them etc, just put him/her back into the cot n continue to do so until they settle, it may take a good few nights to have a decent nights sleep, but be patient and it will work! I have 4 girls age 7, 6, 3, and 18months, and all of them have slept through the night using this method!
I hope this helps!

Answer 4

Take it from someone who knows. Stop giving them bottles at night. My babies both started sleeping all night at 2mths, so if your babies are at least that age, I know you can do this.

First off, get a bedtime routine for each. Bath, Bottle, Book, Bed. Do it the same way every night at the same time. when they wake up at night, let them cry. If you have to go in to check on them l(which you probably will at first) just pat them on the back to comfort them and leave again. Check every ten to fifteen minutes. Don't pick them up. The older the kids the longer this takes, but for my babies, it took no more than 5 nights. Eventually they fall asleep for good.

It was hard on my husband, he hated to hear them cry. But he didn't get up in the middle of the night when they woke up. Give it a try. Babies love getting a good night's sleep. If you stay at home with them, the nighttime ritual is easiest if they also have an appropriate daytime sleeping schedule.

Answer 5

if you have 3 kids then it is safe to say at least 2 of them should not be waking up for feedings. so the only thing you can do is not give them a bottle but encourage them just to go back to bed. most babies outgrow the midnight feeding by 6 mo. so your babies are just waking up because they are accustomed to it and you are accustomed to giving them a bottle in the middle of the night. with the older ones it might be a little more difficult to break so maybe offer a sippy cup by their bed that they can get all by themselves.

good luck and be strong otherwise you will never sleep thru the night again :)

Answer 6

If there're waking up to feed then you must make sure that they are well topped up before they go down for the night. Give them a yogurt before they go down or make them a smoothie with warm milk and bananas.
If you find that the kids won't cooperate then give them their dinner a bit earlier so that they'll drink all their nightly beverages. Also.... and I know that it's tough, but try not responding to their cries so quickly, my son will wake up once in a while during the night and let us know that he wants something but we usually give him 5 to 10 minutes and he's fallen back to sleep

Answer 7

I'm the mother of 6!!!! if u woke up every night n someone gave u a meal UL wake up every night.....plain boiled water in their bottles....it will take a couple of nights of tears etc but they will stop waking up for it....trust me Ive been there n done that.....just need to work out how to stop spoiling my 18 mth old daughter....after 5 boys buying all those girlie things is so easy....... good luck

Answer 8

The bottles should not be left in their cribs to begin with. They don't need the sugar in it and should be brushing their teeth before going to sleep. I don't mean to sound judgemental, I'm just stating what I've been taught by my pediatrician. It's really bad for their teeth. We started giving our 14 month old a bottle just before bed (we're about to break her from it though) of milk, then handing her a tooth brush to brush her teeth and then sending her to bed with a bottle (or soon to be sippy cup) of water. If she gets thirsty in the middle of the night she doesn't hesitate or fuss over having water instead of milk. Hope this helps!

Answer 9

If they are 2 or older, give away the bottles. If they are under two, you are out of luck. Kids have their own schedules. You need to feed them when they are hungry.

And by the way...milk at night rots their teeth. Only give them water at night. My neice had all her teeth rotted out because her crackhead mother (literally) gave her bottles at night until she was 4. She had to wait for her adult teeth to come in. Which, for most kids, is very upsetting.

Answer 10

if they are old enough to have baby cereal... give them sum in a bottle at bed time it should keep them full longer and hopefully get them to sleep though the nite.. good luck.. n if that dont work then maybe u should talk to a dr or sumone to find out if there could be sum other under laying cause

Answer 11

Kids get thirsty, night time or otherwise. Consider fixing icewater at night and letting them have milk during the day. When the icewater gets warm in the night, depending on the age of the kids and how you get ice (ice trays or icemaker), show them how to get ice. If you use ice trays, make a little tray of ice for them to reach during the night.
