I need some advice!!!!!! My son Raiden will be 2 months old on the 11th and it seems like he can't sleep without a bottle in his mouth. He will be dead asleep, I take it out and he starts screaming and with everyone in the house sleeping ontop of being sleep deprived I give it back to him in dont have a mother around to give me advice. I really need help!!!!!! I gave him a bath tonight at like 12am because he wouldn't sleep and even after that he still wants the bottle. I've tried a binki it worked for a while but as he gets older he wants less and less to do with it and I can't get him to suck his fist while he sleeps.( that is what he has substituted the binki with) I need help me and my boyfriend work and I can't being staying up all night holding a bottle or trying to get him to sleep without it. Any advice is greatly appreciated I'm borderline crazy
Sometimes hes drinking sometimes he will hold it in his mouth until I try to take it out and binki wise I tried 2 types but it seems like he will only take the ones similar to the one the hospital gave us
There are soothes that are just like a bottle nipple. Try those. My daughter did the same and I gave her the soother and it worked.
My baby turned 11mos just yesterday and she still has 1-2 bad nights where she fussed every time her pacifier comes out.. other nights she just reaches around for it in her sleep and puts it back it. It’s hard but it’s habit they get so liking unless you let them cry it out. It’s sucks but i think that’s the best way.. if you keep giving it to him he will end up taking advantage because he knows you’ll give it to him on demand. Struggle with the pacifier until he decides he wants it more or decide to do without both.
My grandmother told me that if you take the binki away at 4 months and dont give It back there's not issue with it
@shauna1998lindee, not every baby is like that.. mine wanted her bottle on demand and I made her switch to a pacifier. Around 4 months I could of taken it away but it was her comfort during the day if she would just be such a brat or fussy all day because I will give it to her only at night to help with taking it away.. she did it for weeks until I decided to give in.
Most parents actually have harder time taking it habit away because they get so use to it.. i would of definitely done it sooner but didn’t.. but now since she only had 1-2 bad nights in a week I don’t mind getting up every 1:30-2 hrs to put her pacifier back in her mouth.
I've got those binkies and he likes them but he wont take them to sleep it has to be a bottle
