hi nikki and welcome to madmums im lauren mummy to bronia ellice whos 2.5,fingers crossed for your preg...
have you tried offering water instead of a bottle at night,it might be thirst rather than hunger and if he only gets water ast night it might stop him waking...

Hi Nikki.
I'm Amanda, im 25 and i have 4 children Joshua 8, Sophie 7, Shannon 6 and Harry who is 4! We live in Staffordshire with dh. I'd try your lo on water for a while to see if he stops, and if not, then maybe use controlled crying... its not nice to hear them cry, but maybe he has just gotten into the habit of waking for the sake of it!
Welcome to Madmums, fingers crossed for your pg results! Let us know how you get on when you test...(cause we're all nosey on here lol) Take Care x-x-x

Hi Nikki,
Welcome to Madmums! You'll find this site very handy for those sensitive questions!
I can't offer any tips on 1 yr babies sleeping through the night! My 1 yr daughter never does & neither has my 3 yr dd at that age either!
I just go with the flow!
I hope you are pregnant & be sure to share the good news with us!
Read below & my profile to find out about me & take care.
