You have 3 options here :
1. Give her the bottle, hope she outgrows it and get some sleep.

2. Refuse the bottle, let her scream her head off for a few nights, be a zombie for a few days and then once she has realsied that she will not be getting anything during the night, she will settle. You can offer and alternate like a dummy, teddy, blankie while trying this.

3. Gradually water down the bottles and/or reduce the amount you give her until she is drinking water and thinks it is not worth while screaming for, or is drinking so little it is not worth waking for.

You need to choose the method that suits your lifestyle. Personally, I went with option 3 and after a few months it did work.

Morning ladies

Hope you had a good weekend.

I need your advice with Hannah as I'm having problems with her at night (which I didn't have with Mia so I don't know what to do).

Hannah has 3 meals a day, her last bottle at 6pm then I put her in bed.

The last while (about 2 weeks or so) she's been waking about 5 or 6 times a night screaming her little heart out and the only thing she wants is her bottle. She drinks 2 FULL bottles (in total about 600mls) during those nights. Nothing else comforts her or gets her back to sleep.

I know each baby is different, but geeeeees, I'm in the deep end here :blink:
