So our little man (15 months old) is still waking for a 3am-4am bottle, which I have been giving him just because I don't really mind getting up and I feel it is part and parcel of having a bub anyway. He also then sleeps through until about 6:30am. I would, however, like to have him sleeping through by the time our next baby arrived in May next year.

I am pretty sure that he is just thirsty and not hungry and, in all honesty, I just think it is a habit that he has gotten into (he is so predictable when he gets tired, wakes up etc, which is why I think it is a habit).

Problem is (as per my other post), he doesn't like drinking water, so I am not sure that leaving a sippy cup with him over night is going to be a solution (at this stage anyway).

A friend told me that she got her kids to sleep through by diluting their formula over time. Has anyone tried this approach?

I guess I am just after some suggestions to either solve the drinking aspect or to just break the habit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also just wondering if perhaps it is around this time that he may just start sleeping through of his own accord. When did your littlies stop their wake-ups? Do you think I should just persist and, if necessary, do something about it closer to bub no. 2's arrival?

Thanks a lot
