Its been a while since I had a winge about DD3's sleeping. We were away for 2 months, so I assumed it'd all settle when we got home & I could try getting her off the bottle. What was I thinking?

We only have a bottle because after 8 weeks of my 2 year old screaming I needed sleep & the bottle brought it back to me.

3 or so months later she's still waking 2 - 3 times a night for a bottle AND leaking nappies to make even the heaviest wetter's embarrassed.
I put a huggies on her before bed. I change it at her midnight wake up & am lucky if it hasn't already started to leak. By the time she's up in the morning there's at least a small patch on the bed.
I can't do cloth with her, no matter how I tried when she was little she had a rash. I'm actually using them occasionally through the day, since I can't afford to keep up with nappies (with her mostly TT through the day) and the rash is straight back. Not on her bits, high on her back side.

She never had leaking nappies on the boob. Even if she woke every hour! Her bottles are 1/2-3/4 water though. Less than half milk.

I just want a break. My washing machine is dead. So paying for a laundromat once a week on top of the milk & nappy usage is sending me extremely broke If I get more washing than that its the bath, the hose, or it just waits. Hosing sheets every day isn't much fun :/ And it looks like another 2 - 3 weeks minimum before I'll have a washing machine.

So what do I do? Besides risking months of screaming, with no sleep to get rid of the bottle? Tonight she did only have half left by the time she settled & survived the 20 minutes after it was gone with out too much fuss, before she fell asleep, but this isn't the first time I've tried to refuse her. With 3 other kids in the house & just me to deal with all of it, I'm just going with what I hope is the easiest option... And its not so easy!
