    Son waking up at night for bottle...

    for the last month or so my sons been waking up once in the night for a bottle... hes never been the type of baby u could settle by just rocking him, patting him ect so that doesnt work, if i give him water it just wakes him up more cuz he just plays with it ect..
    is this just a phase thats going to stop or what? it doesnt bother me thatttt much but i just dont want it to become a habit... hes nearly 1

    Hes not thirsty?? Been hot in your state of late. My 16 month old wakes if not every night, every second night for a drink of water from her sippy cup.....i dont mind in these hot months getting up for her, its just once and she goes straight back to sleep.

    I can't really relate, but my son did a similar thing when he was about 8mths old. It lasted for about a month and then he was sleeping thru again. I'm not sure if it was a growth spurt, the only way he would settle was if he was given a bottle.
    Maybe try and feed him a bit more during the day? Otherwise hopefully it is just a phase and He will get over it soon.

    DD started getting up for the day at 4am when she was 8 months old (after sleeping through from six weeks). What a shock to the system that was, let me tell you! But yep, same here, lasted about a month and then gradually went back to normal.

    Yep my 16 month old is still waking for a bottle at night. Not all night though thank goodness. I am hoping she will grow out of it over time, as we have tried to wean her off it numerous times now.
