My 16 month old use to sleep the whole night but for the past 5 months or so he wakes up about 5 times a night crying for a bottle of milk. He isn't in discomfort or anything. He just wants milk. Once I make him a bottle he drinks and sleeps. I don't get any good sleep anymore. Any tips mamas ? My friends tell me to
Let him cry and he has to get used to
Sleeping the full night. If it happened once or twice I've be fine. But this is about the 5th time tonight that I'm up making him a bottle 😔 is this normal?!

@juliannap, yes I agree it definitely sounds like habit. Good luck!
@ecahanes, yes, he's older now. For example today after I made his bottle (I left the room went to the kitchen) he woke up crying and when I got back he had already fallen asleep. I think he just does it out of habit since he knows he will get a bottle. I do think I should start letting him cry it out a little and he should get used to sleeping the full night again. @emiliasmommy15,
@ecahanes, no he doesn't use a pacifier. Never has
He is probobly using the bottle to soothe back to sleep or out of habbig abd since he is 16months, id try and let him cry it out. It will be HARD that i will tell you because i went thru it with my daughter except she wanted to be rocked to sleep.
Actually you said it's been going on for months...sounds like he's doing it out of habit. Might be time to crack down
He could be going through a regression...does he take a pacifier ?
Why is he still using a bottle ? I would try to do away with the bottle and start constant sippy cup
