Nina, I don't blame you for being over the bottles overnight. I've just recently hit that point where i'm over even the once nightly feed, so I just went cold turkey and resettled him (by that I cuddle and pat Jake to sleep, but what ever you do). He does cry for a minute or two but usually if I get to him quick enough he's still sleepy so he drops off again. It might take a while to get it happening and he will most likely but VERY unhappy about it but if you are consistent it will pay off. At this age he doesn't NEED the feeds, it's more of a comfort thing. Oh and on the bottles during the day.....I could be wrong but with my kids at this age they have all (and Jake is too) been down to having one bottle a day of cows milk (usually before sleep after lunch) and then one at bedtime, so two bottles a day.
HTH, and that's exciting news about TTC I'm very excited for you all having the chance to TTC and have more kids My time for that is over but I'm happy for you all and so glad we got to share the journey of pregnancy and birth of one of our kids together.
All is good here....haven't gotten Jake weighed but I imagine he's only 8.5kg, still my tiny tot He's a different personality again.....silent but deadly my Mum calls him,
DH signed a new apprenticeship contract today which is the best news we've had in a long time!!
