Question

my daughter wakes up wanting bottle 2-3 times in night. She is 10 months old. Any one have sugestions or tips.. Please

Answer 1

You might need her to just go back to sleep on her own. Just because she wakes up does not mean you need to go in there and check up on her. She will need to learn to fall back asleep on her own. You might even let her cry for a bit. Not too long, but just enough to she if she quiets down and goes back to sleep. It take lots of patience, but your daughter and you will be able to get through this!

Answer 2

My son is almost three and has been waking up in the night and wanting to go downstairs i have since put a stair gate up at the top of the stairs so he can t any more he now just has a tape on which settles him down a health visitor has said to me all children do this because they are only in a deep sleep for roughly 40 Min's then a light sleep for 40 Min's and so on so if they notice a difference in sound or surrounding they will wake up to make sure everything around them is OK.

Answer 3

Our little guy is 9 months old and just started sleeping through the night. I hate to tell you this, but you have to stop getting up with her. She is only getting up because she is used to getting up. It is a part of her routine.
I won't lie, the first night l let him cry it out he cried for like 3 hours ( on and off) It was so hard, The second night he cried for about a 1/2 hour and the third 10 minutes. Since then it has been smooth sailing. It is absolute torture so be strong if you decide to do it. Good luck.

Answer 4

She is probably doing it out of habit. Or maybe you are. My daughter is now 13 months and for awhile she would "wake up" and want to eat. She hasn't done it for about 4 months. I think that's because sometimes she tends to wake up at night and cry out and before, I would run to her and scoop her up and feed her. Now, I wait for a few minutes to make sure she's really awake, and guess what...she never is!!! It's so nice to know that she's gonna sleep thru the night.
It could be possible that she's not eating enough during the day or right before bed. Her "clock" might be off.
But it really sounds like more of a habit...and we all know habits are hard to break.

Answer 5

When you give her the bottle put 1/2 milk and 1/2 water. Keep decreasing the milk until it is all water. You will train her stomach not to be hungry at the times that she is waking up.

She may still wake up. Some kids need a snuggle at night, its OK. Kids will sleep all night when they are ready.

Answer 6

i am going thru the same exact thing. and my girl is also 10 months old.
i really don't know what to do. but what i do do is at night before bed, i make her 2 bottles so i won't have to do it later. that way when she wakes up.....i can just heat the bottle up in the microwave. faster than having to make it.
i am going to put your question on my watch list so that some one can help. because i am sleep deprived because of this.
good luck to u.
:-)

Answer 7

Is she actually hungry?
Or...is it an attention ploy?
Sometimes they wake up and want Mommy. Mommy may not go for it.
But, ...Hey! She's always given me food when I want it...I'll try that.
Oh, yes they do!!!
When they get older and know you aren't falling for that one anymore, it begins with the I need to go potty...6 times a night. Yeah, right.
Try giving her water in her bottle for a couple of days and keeping everything as low key as possible. Lights really low...or off. No music. No singing. Nada. Be very matter of fact. This lets her know that you love her and that you will always take care of her, but that this is not fun time. This is sleep time. Hold her only briefly and then lay her back in her bed. If you hold her continuously, it will only reinforce the behavior. It will take time, but it will get better.
If she truly seems hungry, talk to her doctor. Some children have problems digesting certain types of foods. My oldest is allergic to everything. And I do mean everything. Soy, wheat, corn, garlic, beef, chocolate, bananas, beans, peas, legumes, tree nuts and peanuts. (Grass and trees too.) We didn't find out until March of this year. He's 7! He's been sick since I stopped breast feeding him.
I'm not suggesting you are in for this kind of trauma, but it could be just about anything. She might be lactose intolerant or get excessive gas after eating_______. You'll never know till you look in to it.
Your childs doctor should have a wealth of info to help too. Call him up and get your money's worth.

Answer 8

Feed her baby cereal, and more Gerber strained foods everyday. At least 3 times a day eating cereal and Gerber foods plus her bottle of milk. Before she goes to sleep make sure shes full and burp her. She wont be waking up in the middle of the night anymore.

Answer 9

It is just a habit now. You can leave a bottle of water in her crib. You might have to make her cry it out. It is a hard 3 nights but after that she should sleep.

Answer 10

She probably doesn't "need" a bottle anymore, she's just used to waking up and getting one. My suggestion is just stop giving her one in the middle of the night. Let her get herself back to sleep, and eventually she'll stop waking up, and if she does wake up, she'll put herself back to sleep.
