OK, I'm ready to try offering water instead of bf if DS wakes during the night (before 5am) - what do I offer it in? He drinks from a pop top bottle during the day, occasionally a sippy cup or a straw cup, but I'm afraid he'll spill water on the bed if I leave it with him or on his bedhead, so would I be better to use a bottle to avaoid the spillage?

At the moment he comes into our room & I bf in bed. Would it be better to make DH take him back to his room to offer the water and lie with him till he falls asleep?

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
