I know this post was made a while back but I just wanted to say that I think you are a wonderful mother. I loved how you said you love him for who he is! What a beautiful thing to say. And your very right in saying it. Do you think he is waking for these bottles because of hunger or because of comfort? Because if it is hunger then maybe see if he will eat more solids during the day, finger food if that helps. Or if it is for comfort then you could think of other solutions. He will eventually get out of it, but he will need help being swayed away from that routine.

How is it going now?
