My daughter is 5 1/2 months now and goes to be just fine at night but when she wakes up in the middle of the night she will scream her head off until i put her bottle in her mouth, then she sucks on it for a minute and passes back out. Any ideas how to break her of that??

depends i don't know if boys are the same as girls on this but i broke all my boys from this habit by just giving them a 2 oz bottle of water when they woke up like that and within 3 days they stopped waking up for it. guess they didn't like the water lol

don't give her a pacifier,instead try to calm her by patting or rocking her or walking with her.it may take some time,maybe a week to get rid of this habit

I would just keep trying anything and everything to break her of that attachment so you can get her off the bottle at a year.

That is really tough, I feel for you then because I don't know anything else to even recommend. What if you rock her for a moment or walk with her will that work? I know you probably already tried it. I hope someone else has an idea that will help you out.

I recommend a pacifier sounds like she needs to suck. If you are in the US we don't have gripe water here. Just get a pacifier that is as close to her bottle nipple as possible. You may have to try many different brands and kinds before you find one she likes.

a suckie? if its just the sucking motion that calms her try a suckie my daughter is the same way some times she wouldnt take it so dip it in gripe water to get a taste on it u may have to do it more then once and let her suck on that for a few mins and it should do the same as the bottle
