I have 3 children and have never had this problem before.
My 10mth old daughter goes to sleep around 7.30pm with a bottle, some nights it takes 30min for her to go down as she will drink until she's had enough then will cry.
Her cry is not a painful cry she is just crying to get up, she is however tired and should be asleep.
She will sleep for an hour then she will wake, she does not want a bottle just for me to sit by her bed and pet her head or back, she will then go to sleep for a few hrs until she wakes for a bottle. She will (most nights) go to sleep and I am able to go back to bed.
Around 3ish she will wake for another bottle ( the bottles she has in the night are not full at most she has 150ml). She usually goes back to sleep until 7-7.30.
How do I teach her to go to sleep on her own without the use of a bottle? And how do I get her out of the habit of waking in the night?
