From 2 months old my daughter slept through the night then didn't for two months from 11 months-12 months old, she would wake once or twice in the night and no matter what we tried the only thing that got her back to sleep was a bottle of formula or cows milk, risky business but we were shattered, turns out the reason was so obvious! from 10 months old we began giving her a drink of water with every meal, often she would be sick after her food. So one day my sister says she is probably filling up on water and eating to much to compensate hence the sickness, the reason she wakes in the night and the only thing to soothe her is a bottle is because she is hungry! so i felt a fool and now she has a drink after her meal, not during and sleeps through the night once again! Another great tip from my mum is if your child does not sleep through the night before bedtime or at teatime try a bowl of porridge oats, has to be porrdige oats, something in that people with insomnia use, they will not wake up, bet ya!

@greenhow Try offering him tastes of your drink from a cup or even reuse a cola/fanta bottle. They are a similar shape to a baby bottle and he can copy mummy :) my little girl took to that easier than sippy cups when she was about 10 months. If you think he will spill, try different beakers. You can get soft spout 1s that are made from the same material as a bottle teat but differnt shaped. I also tried giving my daughter fruit shoot. I know they arent the healthiest of drinks at 1yr old, but the bottles can be reused and they have a pop up lid. great for when ou + about.

if ur trying to get your 19month old change his bottle to a cup thow the day and keep trying u have to explain to him he is a big boy now ,and this is a big boy cup at up at 7am with him give him his breakfast and try to give him a something milky and light for bed like weetabix, slowly reduce his bottle it will be hard at first but he will get used to it put him to bed if he crys let him for 5 min then cheque on him after 5 min then lie him down if he his stood up and walk out and tell him it sleep time now and go out of the bedroom he will eventallygo to sleep by his self that what i did with my 2 year old at that age now he gose to bed on his own and even tell when he want go hope that helped greenhow
