HELP! Bottle or no bottle???

Question

I’ve been told it’s ok to give my 5 month old a bottle every night before bed but my husband says it’s a crutch and we shouldn’t as it doesn’t allow the baby to develop his own ways to sooth himself to sleep. What’s right!? I need help. I have to give him a bottle or hear him scream endlessly and I don’t know what to do.

Answer

If your baby is hungry then you need to feed it.

Answer

5 months is to young to stop feeding at night. Way to young. Try that method closer to 8 months. Milk is very important for them right now. Try one before bed and one during the night. That Should be enough

Answer

Too young to cut off the bottle.

Answer

Too young to cut out the bottle. If baby is hungry feed them! 
However, if you don’t want to develop the sleep crutch, you can always try to keep them awake during the feed & insert part of your bedtime routine after the feed, so baby isn’t relying on it to fall asleep. For example, if you typically read, sing then feed you could read, feed, then sing or feed, read, sing. Or depending on your current day schedule, adjust if needed so you aren’t feeding right before naps & baby will get the practice putting themself to sleep then. 
Ps at five months there’s also nothing wrong with using it to help get baby to sleep if that works for your family!

Answer

I do it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ We tried doing bottle, bath, book, bed—but it just wasn’t working. Now we do bath, bottle, book, bed and it’s a lot easier. The book dividing the 2 makes me feel better, but I doubt it makes a difference, lol.

Answer

Thank you ladies!!! I feel
Much better about it now. 🙏🏻💕
