Dd2 is 11 m old and has only slept thru (7.30 -7am) for about 1 week when she was 6m old. We've started leaving a bottle of milk in her cot whe we go to bed in the hope that she will find it and feed herself. usually she cries, we go in, find it for her and she goes back off after drinking it. Therefore one of us is up every night - not for long admittedly - but it's still a broken night.
She eats ok but doesn't have a huge appetite, and because she goes off again after having her milk in the middle of the night I assume it's because she's genuinely hungry. Dh says he thinks she's just 'one of those babies' that never sleeps through, and we just have to lump it til she's grown out of it. Is it our fault she's not going through though, by letting her expect milk in the night? Is it worth trying cc - had a half-hearted attempt a few months back but it kept waking dd1 and as she's now at school I'm loath to disturb her.

Are we encouraging her not to sleep thru by giving her a bottle?
