So last night, the first night of the diluted bottles, I only picked up Tiny Boy the first waking, when he was holding up his arms. Otherwise I gave him the bottle* and went back to bed. I think tonight I'll give him a 4 ounce bottle on first waking and then the watered ones and see if that keeps him sleeping more soundly. All a grand experiment. But he does seem to be accepting the no "mama mil" in the middle of the night, anyway... it's been more than a week.
* Yes, I know you are not supposed to let babies sleep with bottles. Bad for their teeth and all that. But he doesn't actually sleep with the bottle IN his mouth, to the best of my knowledge, and, well, if I have to choose, sleep is more important than teeth. Besides, it's temporary, he's going to be sucking on water very soon I say...
