Please help. My DS is almost 9 mths old and we made the foolish error of not getting him used to a bottle early enough hence from 16 weeks old he has refused point blank at a bottle. Thus I am still having to breast feed through the night as he wakes 2 - 3 times and has done since about 4 months old. I can't even go out for a night as he works himself up into such a frenzy when he wakes and can't get the breast that both my mother and DP have had to call me home early. It doesn't even seem to be a hunger thing, just more comfort. I tried controlled crying in the past which worked as we lived in a detached but now we have moved and have neighbours who really don't appreciate being woken at 3am.
DS really is a joy during the day and doesn't really take the breast but the broken nights and inability to leave him with anyone is taking its toll.
