Bottles ?

My little boy still has 5oz milk before bed but has been ill recently and only taking 2 then refusing . He naps without it has done always just that one bottle is now a good time to take it away? He won't drink whole milk though so that's a no no In a cup not hot not cold not warm lol he's still on hungry baby aptamil at night x

  • I've just posted a similar post on the toddler board.

    My lb still has 8oz milk at bedtime and 6Ez in morning when he gets up, he won't drink full fat milk on its own so we are currently mixing milk and formula and gradually changing the amounts in the hope he will be off formula soon.
    I'm not sure if I should be stopping.the bottles or not....
  • I think its just that they need to have a certain amount of milk per day so i suppose if they have it in the day with breakfast an food etc then you wouldnt have to give milk before bed. Im in my second week of giving milk out of a cup instead of a bottle an my son is not happy about it so he had stopped drinkin his milk for a while. No bedtime bottle had ment him waking at 6am instead of 7.30 so i guess it just depends on child an whether they need that bedtime milk to see them through the night. I still want my son to have some milk at bedtime as i dont like waking up at 6am lol!
  • Yeah I don't mind him having milk before bedtime if it helps him settle, if I was to put him down without milk there's no way he'd go to sleep, he currently drinks his bottle lying.on my bed, rolls about for anothing from 10mins to an hour before sleeping, sometimes he falls asleep quickly and leaves some of his milk.
  • He won't drink ot from a cup either and Id like to get him off formila really as it's expensive and don't wanna start bad habits I'll take a bottle up with me tonight but won't offer it unless he's screaming after 15 mins and see how we go I'll offer weetabix just before bed suppose gotta ride out the nights till he gets used lol x
