I haven't got a problem with the overnight waking Forshelby, but not so long ago was having a very difficult time getting Alexis to eat anything different, like cut up fruits and healthier snacks, she would always go for a snack of dry this or that, and yes cereal !!!!!!
The way I got her to eat healthier options??? Made myself a delicious bowl of cut up fruit and custard or some salad, sat in front of her and ate it, without offering her any ;D
She soon came over interested in what I was eating and wanted some, because it was 'my bowl' not hers! Ends up eating most of the bowl, but she doesn't realise it hehe!!
Good luck Forshelby, hope you had a good night. I had the same problem with my DD who was drinking anywhere up to 1.5L of milk a day and was beginning to refuse foods all together, she would have a full 260ml milk bottle first thing in the morning and then at night and then was asking me for more all while ignoring whatever food I put in front of her. Eventually I had enough and took the cold turkey approach and one morning just told her that there was no more "milka", as she called it, and gave her some milk in a cup. She cried for about 5 minutes but I made sure that all the bottles were out of sight and stuck to my guns and she gave up pretty quickly. I had tried getting rid of the milk bottle about 3 months prior and she cried, sobbing her heart out in the corner of the room for a good 40 minute so i gave in and gave it back, but this time round her protest was alot shorter. The downside was she stopped drinking milk all together, although she will drink it with milo or a milkshake and has it on her cereal but the bright side was she instantly started eating food again, and lots of it, and the night time waking stopped as she was nice a full from all the food.
Milk junkie
