One is still so so young!!!!!!! Please give her a bottle milk!!!!!!!!!!!!
If she wakes up once for a bottle milk and goes straight back to sleep, that’s perfectly normal for this age. She does not yet have to sleep straight from 7-7….

Poor baby...also just woke up to my 1 year old. I gave her a formula bottle...its very standard they should wake up once or twice in middle of the night. Pls don't deprive her from food

It's not deprivation...babies that age wake from habit, not need. It's ok if you do it... but it's okay if you don't want to.
Op, so sorry...but training is the only way if you want to stop right away. If not you'll just have to keep doing it until she's old enough to say to, for bedtime that there's no bottle and you make a chart or something or she decides to naturally grow out of it at some point.

1 year olds wake up at night. They need comfort, in the form of their Mommy's presence, cuddling, and sucking. They may not need the milk for nutrition, but it will calm them and put them back to sleep and it is developmentally appropriate for them to be waking for it.

Don’t do this op. She is young. She is young and letting her cry is cruel.

I definitely cuddled her ! I didn’t let her just scream for an hour , I kept going to stroke her and give her water and paci… bh she ended up falling back asleep but it was so hard . A lot of people tell me all it takes is one hard night but it’s not true ! It’s definitely from habit , she doesn’t need it , and her doctor was upset by how much milk she’s having . I’m not so strict with night waking , but I do think at 1 she rly shouldn’t be waking , sometimes as early as 11!!

It’s very normal to be waking at one years old. Don’t have her cry. Is she eating well during the day?

I think the doctors exaggerate this stuff…how bad can milk be? I know it affects iron, but it’s still pretty healthy.
I tried just giving him less each time he woke up, like 2-3 ounces. Honestly sometimes he still wakes up for milk and he’s almost 3! I don’t think it’s a big issue.

Did you try water in the bottle instead of milk?

She doesn’t eat so well because she has too much milk … that’s why the doctor wants me to cut back

It’s so funny because in real life everyone tell me I MUST train her , and here everyone tells me not to . It’s so interesting.

Then she might be legitimately hungry in middle of the night.

First work on feeding her more during the day before thinking of cutting out night feeds.

At a year we start watering down the middle of the night bottle so it’s soothing but less calories so they take more calories in the day

How do you know how much her kid eats during the day?! My baby is definitely not eating enough solids and she is hungry!

maybe you need to feed her more during the day.
Would you want to be eating in the middle of the night because you're waking up starving everyday and not having a proper sleep?
Why do people think babies don't also want to sleep straight instead of constantly waking up in middle of the night?As soon as my infant started sleeping through the night, she was so much happier during the day. She stopped crying so much and being cranky all the time.
A 1-year-old is isn't an exclusively nursing baby, who is only drinking breast milk which digests quickly.
Op can do whatever she wants but it's good for her to see that there's more than one opinion of let the baby wake up every night and be up for an hour, and ruin her teeth because she's drinking bottles in the middle of the night, and then be tired the next day and not eat properly.
