Overnight feeds

Aakanchie

My baby is 17 months old. He drinks a bottle before, which I’m okay with! But he also drinks at least two bottles overnight. I have tried diluting and had him switched over to milk but he got sick and was only drinking milk and I’m back to square one. I started diluting again. But it’s out of habit/sucking reflex that he wants bottle. I have tried going cold Turkey as well but he cries and nothing else seems to sooth him. We never gave him a pacifier to sleep so I don’t think I’m open to giving a pacifier now!

Any other ideas? Thoughts?

I believe he’s eating adequate throughout the day. He drinks one bottle of milk before nap.
