Third night....

It's 3am and I can't sleep again. Reese woke up asking for milk about 15 minutes ago. Tried to talk him out of it but he started to whine and kick. Since we are all sleepy, I got up and gave him warm water. Guess what? He didn't complain at all! I thought he will reject the bottle of water...but.... he drank anyway but only a little and he went back to sleep... hehe.

He slept really late though. He slept at 10.45pm and he requested for more milk but we reasoned with him and he accepted that.

Will he wake a second time and ask for milk again? I don't know... what I am afraid now is that he will stick to his habit even though he is given water. As long as there is a bottle for him to suck on... mmm... hopefully not. Will update later.

poor you...need to wake up so many times in the middle of the night. I wonder why he has this habit..coz I thought as they grow bigger, they should sleep more soundly.

Hope he did not get up anymore after this...and you go and rest early. If not, you will get a panda eyes...

poor mommy. just when u thought night feeding is over, here they comes again.

probably he is thirsty...i discourage nicholas to have any water intake at all during the night too..doesn't want him to suckle it to sleep.

You are getting there.... :) I think it's a phase of insecurity. Some kids love attention, and they'll do it positively or negatively...
My big one still cry in the middle of the night if she doesn't see me by her side.... nap time also the same.... :(
