So I originally used cc to get my son to self settle as I used to rock him, which worked perfectly, but then after a couple of blissful weeks of sleeping through the night, eight (yes eight!) teeth decided to come through, one after the other, leading to more waking up at night. I didn't want to leave him in pain so started giving him a bottle to settle.
After his teething stopped at about 8.5 months he would still wake up twice for a bottle but it was no hassle as he would hold it, then find his dummy and self settle afterwards, so I left it like that for a few weeks.
However, after reading how bad this could be to his new teeth I decided to try and reduce his bottles during the night by adding gradually less powder and made a plan to start after our weeks holiday away. But then he magically learnt, whilst on holiday, how to crawl and pull himself up which is wrecking havoc with his sleep.
I got home a few days ago and he is now waking every couple of hours or more and standing at the end if his cot closest to the door, screaming till I go in...he settles after I put him down a couple of times only to wake up half an hour later...im exhausted! The only thing that settles him for a few hours is a bottle...how can I get him out of these habits, im at a complete loss!
