Hello,
I have a twenty month old, a five year old and a four month old. My question pertains to my twenty month old. She is a very funny and energetic child and I'm having trouble with her sleeping through the night and throwing horrendous tantrums, worst when she wakes from her naps.

Here's the stituation: My daughter used to sleep throughout the night when she was breastfed. A little after we switched her to a bottle she began waking randomly at night EVERY night. She goes to sleep awake and is able to put herself to sleep but in the middle of the night she will whine and eventually scream for hours if she doesn't get a bottle. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Also she has tantrums that are impossible to get her out of. When she wakes from her nap she will scream and whine for at least forty minutes and I need to hold her while she does this. Being that I have a four month old that is sometime just impossible. Also she no longer lets anyone but mchange her diaper, get her dressed, give her a bath, or virtually anything. I understand that she is probably stressed because of the new baby needing more attention but if anyone has any advice I would be grateful.

I am an aromatherapist. One tool that can possible help your child is essential oils in a nebulizer.

It is very difficult to deal with 3 kids especially when one is that spiteful. You have to try your hardest to get her to not have a bottle in the night so she can become used to it
