I think we have a problem. My guy is 14 months and eats well, drinks water through the day. The issue is that he takes a 10 oz bottle at bedtime. He's supposed to be getting 16oz in an entire day, including cheese and yogurt. So I give him 5oz during the day in a cup, plus cheese and other dairy, so he's getting more than he should.
Fast forward to bedtime. He will not go to bed without a bottle. I've tried so many things to get him weaned off the bedtime bottle, but I think we got lazy somewhere and he learned to soothe himself to sleep with a bottle. He goes to bed perfectly during nap time, so I know it's just habit. Also, I give him his 10oz bottle an hour before bed and he still demands at least 4oz in bed or he looses his mind.
SO, ladies, what do I do? Do I have to break him of this? Part of me wants to let him continue, because he goes down so easily with a bottle. Without a bottle we've tried everything and he screams so hard. He's gone on for 20 mins before we gave in this week and he took a bottle and was out in minutes.
Help!
