My 10 month old only wants to drink his bottle at night, help?!?

My ten month old son is too active and only wants to eat at night. During the day I have to lay him in his crib in order for him to eat, (ever since he was 4 months old he didn't want to be carried when he ate, only laying down). I've tried making the...

room dark so that he could lay down and eat, but he ends up falling asleep causing him to not want to sleep at night. He drinks water and juice out of his sippy cup but he won't drink the milk. Any ideas on how I can make him eat during the day and not every 2 hours at night? I need sleep!!

well...
a doctor would know more
but from what I know with my little sisters
they love milk
but did you try heating the milk up
or serving it cold?
that MIGHT help I don't know
but ask your childs doctor and see what solution he or she can come up with
good luck

A Dr. might know more

Suggestion...Just don't give it to him. My son got really attached to his cup and the tv at night, so in order to put an end to it you just have to stop giving it to him at night. Believe me he WILL cry, but he will eventually learn that you are not going to give it to him at night anymore.
It is going to be hard for you to do that, but just try it.
Good luck

At 10 months hold is stomach is able to hold enough before bed to get him through the night. If HE CHOOSES not to drink it before bed then you should let him cry it out (this will be very hard), but eventually he will realize that he won't be gettting it. Before he goes to sleep why don't you try sitting him in his bed...with the lights on...and reading to him while he's drinking it. Or better yet sit on the couch of floor with him and read to him while he drinks it. This might relax him enough to let him drink it. By the time my youngest was 9 months old she would not take a bottle after 6 pm. She slept all night...from 8 pm till 8 am. He wants it because you keep giving it to him. Kids will do anything to get attention and at 10 months he's already learned.

Good luck and remember it only feels like your heart is ripping out from his cries. He will be fine and better for it. Stay strong this is only one of your first tests into motherhood.

Give him water in a sippy cup at night. Try the Nuby sippy cups with the soft nipples. Wake him up in the morning at an appropriate time you would want him to wake up. Keep him on his normal nap schedule. Sit him in his highchair with a few different options on what to eat. If he still isn't interested in eating during the morning. Keep him in the highchair until a normal meal time would be over, playing peekaboo and whatever other games you normally play with him, so he can get used to normal meal times. The most important thing is to be consistant. He will adapt.

If I were you I would try NutriPals, it's sold in like every grocery store, It's a childrens drink found around the formula and stuff (usually) and they come in different flavors and packed full of vitamins... Good Stuff my 3 kids love them :0)

I also have a 10 month old who just recently decided that she wants to stay up all night also. She takes really good naps during the day, but screams at night. For about 2 weeks we let her just cry it out. As much as it hurt, it helped so much. We figured out that she just got used to eating during the night, and she didn't actually need it. I of course will quietly check on her when she is crying to make sure nothing is wrong. But now she is finally sleeping through the night!! Yay! As long as I feed her lots of cereal at night and give her a bottle before she goes to sleep, she sleeps great. It was horrible for about 2 weeks though, its not easy to hear your child cry.
