It just crept up on us...
« on: September 20, 2008, 16:58:32 pm »
We weaned off the bottle (water) at night when Scotty was around 2.5. At the same time, his grandad died (in his presence) and it was HOT at nights. So.... Scotty has been asking for a drink from a cup every night. He demands that cups are put out of his reach at night, because he hates spilling stuff, spilt stuff, etc.

Now he wakes up like every three hours to drink a sip of water, wants his cover rearranged, his cuddly animals tucked in (with their little cover  ::) ), etc, etc.

It's a slippery slope and we went down.

NW for our textbook boy went from none to every two to three hours.

I'm tired  :-\

So is Jamie...

Any ideas?

Happy Birthday Scotty BTW.

This is probably a stupid duggestion, but what about a non-spill cup? Or is it about seeing you as well?

Hi Steffi :-*

I've had great sucess with a gro bag - it meant I didn't have to get up in the night and tuck him in when he kicks the covers off :P
It's just getting cool enough to use the 0.5 tog gro bag ;D
I've had to get up a few times to tuck in his sheet in the summer when, unfortunately it was too hot for the gro bag. Dh won't let me leave the air-con on all night ::) Apparently we can get ill from it ??? ::) :P

Is it hot there? N only seems to want to drink water at night in summer ???
How about putting a  cup holder on his bed somewhere?

Oh right. So is it a comfort thing??

I don't know why I am answering this, if my second fella finishes his bedtime water, and wakes up in the night, he asks for more. So what do I know?

He is in a grobag... But still insists on the little blanket on top. A cup holder sounds great though, I should have thought of that!

Thank you, you two  :-*
