Help with breaking early morning feeding habit
DS is 14.5 months----he was sleeping thru the night 7p-7a, then over the winter with colds,bugs & all the sickness he had, we somehow got in the habit of BF at 5 or 6AM. He always goes right back to sleep after. Well, I would like to wean him of this morning feedso I figured the first step would be to get back to sleeping 7p-7a. We have done CIO in the past, so we decided to do this at this time. Well, we tried for a week--DS would sometimes fall back asleep but usually right before its time to get up or he would just stay up, and then be WAY overtired & miserable. I don't know what to do, its so frustrating..........any help or anyone deal with this?? TIA!!

Re: Help with breaking early morning feeding habit
Have you tried decreasing the amt you give him at that feeding?

could you give him a bottle of BM while decreasing over time.. to adventually your just rocking him with no bottle.. maybe once he gets there and realizes he doesnt need bottle he wont wake up anymore for.

unfortunately DS never took bottles well, he has been doing sippys only for months---I thought maybe I could give him a sippy, but I don't know

Not sure what you can do... I know my dd will only take her milk in a bottle, I tried a sippy and she rejected it.
