My daughter is 15 months old.

for the majority of the time she has slept in my bed with me, for a while! about a week or so long she had started to sleep thru the entire night,this was about when she was around 9 months maybe.

after that week, she went back to waking maybe 2 or 3x.

now, at fifteen months she wakes constantly!

geez its just me and her at home, so i constantly have to get up and give her a bottle still,she weighs 27 lbs.im not sure if i should be giving her a bottle during the night. or what? but im sooo sleepy, i have to get up and go to work.!

my mom watches her during the day and keeps her in bed with her as well.

so, i dont know what to do, she does have her own bedroom, but doesnt use it. its just a toy room i guess.

what can i do to help her sleep during the night, she has 7 teeth, but if she were teething still wouldnt she be just as fussy during the day? and she isnt, just at night.HELP

  1. she's just used to getting her bottles at night. slowly wean her off them by diluting the formula with water 1/2 an oz. at a time, until it's totally water. (start with eliminating one bottle at a time) hopefully soon enough she'll realize that it's not worth it to wake up for her midnight snacks, and you'll be getting, and she'll be getting good uninterrupted sleep at night.


  2. Put her in own room, quit feeding her at night. If she knows she isn't going to get a bottle then she'll quit waking up for it. You can quit cold turkey, or put water in it instead of milk, or decrease the amount in the bottle each night til she decides it's not worth waking up for. She definitely does not need to be eating in the middle of the night for nutritional reasons at 15 months. It might be rough for a few nights, but it'll be worth it when she's sleeping all night every night.  

  3. At 15 months you need a routine. Pick a time at night, like say 8pm. You give her a bath, nice warm bath, play around with her, that gets her tired. Then get her all dressed and cozy, go to the kitchen get a tippy cup of milk, and a little bit of a snack like yogurt and a small piece of fruit, or cracker etc. Then once snack is done, tell her, time for a story, let her in your lap, read her the story, IN her room. Usually they are a sleep, if not, put her to sleep in her bed. Pat her, rub her back til she falls asleep...once she gets into this routine, she will enjoy it, and look forward to it. I have done it with my children, have taught my children to do it with their children ....works wonderfully! If the child wakes up, get up take it back to its bed, pat them, til asleep.  

  4. i would go in and say no it's time for sleep and lay her down and keep doing it she'll get the message.I don't think you should give her milk at night ether she is just after attention
