[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 youngest needed a sippy cup of milk in their beds. They would half wake up, drink it & go back to sleep. One has outgrown it. One still does. I know this is horrific fir their teeth but I’ll pick my battles - sleep and sanity for the rest of the house outweighs the dental stuff at this point. I switched to 2% milk and it didn’t work. The youngest needs whole milk to feel full in thr night. I know it’s ridiculous but a snack before bed doesn’t work. I think she just has a crazy metabolism.

I'm a PP. I sort of want to try this for my son, but I'm worried that 1) the sippy cup will leak all over the sheets, 2) he won't be able to find the sippy cup at night and will start screaming, 3) he'll throw his sippy cup out of the crib and make us keep coming in to give it to him. Has any of this stuff happened to you?[/quote]

OMG. I'm PP ("I sort of want to try this..."). I DID try this, AND IT WORKED!!! I didn't do a sippy cup of milk, but I did a sippy cup of water, and my toddler who has NEVER SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT and was waking up MULTIPLE TIMES A NIGHT AT 21 MONTHS finally slept through the night for the past two nights!!!! He is a mouth breather, so this makes sense. I guess he was thirsty....

I also lined his crib with a big fuzzy fleece blanket, so maybe that helped too?

I hope other people read this and it helps them. This was actually a 100% miracle for me.

Also, I probably just jinxed myself by posting this and he'll be up 3 times tonight.....[/quote]

Gotta love a DCUM success story! I hope this trend continues![/quote]
