Baby wakes frequently at the slightest noise and will only use a bottle to fall asleep. I would love some tips to get her to sleep through the night without me having to get up and make her bottles. I am getting worried that this problem will continue for months to come when she should be weaning off the bottle. Thanks!

Its perfectlt realistic that she may be hungry. Or *gasp* she may need comfort! I know that wil shock a lot of the "make your baby scream when she needs you camp" but its true. Human babies are not biologically programmed to feel secure without an adult nearby. After all, they can't run away from dangers yet (even if there aren't dangers a baby does not know that, they are still acting on instinct.)
Your best bet is to follow your instincts and continue to soothe her.

If he's not in any respect been a good sleeper, it is accessible he's only hit a snapping element for over tiredness - the straw on the camel being the ailment and rigidity of christmas time. study this e book: healthy Sleep conduct happy new child. by ability of Marc Weissbluth M.D. (new child sleep project professional) the reason he's screaming whilst he wakes is maximum probable because of the fact he's SO overtired and only needs to return to sleep yet would not comprehend the thank you to without yoover tiredness e book above will assist you get him on a ideal nap/sleep time table to evade the overtiredness. it's going to instruct him to pass to sleep without help if he wakes interior the evening. I actually have a seven month old besides and we've been utilising this technique considering delivery. you are able to tell whilst he hasn't gotten the suitable sleep, he's a completely different infant and he wakes a pair of circumstances interior the evening. it in many circumstances happens after he's been ill because of the fact he can no longer sleep perfect. as quickly as he's back on time table, he's calm, alert, and so curious. And he sleeps by using the evening. I pretty propose it. : D

Her tummy is still pretty small - it might be she still needs a night feeding. You could feed her, and then rock her or rub her back, or whatever soothes her to sleep. Gradually phase out the feedings if you're sure she's not hungry, but continue to rock or soothe her. She'll sleep through the night when she's ready.

At 11 months old, she is physically able to sleep through the night.
She may be waking up simply because she's used to it. She shouldn't be hungry in the middle of the night.
I have no advice except to let her cry it out.

She is old enough to be given water or juice in bottles that may help when she cries. Thats what we did with my sister.
