LOL Mariah, I think that really is the trick, they have to eat/drink more during the day and load them up before bedtime.

Yes, she's still sleeping with us, so that's why I'm so amazed!! Ok, to be perfectly honest, she does occasionally sit up at night and hubby lays her back down and puts her pacifier in her mouth and she goes right to back to sleep, but that's so much better than before when I would have to get up and feed her a bottle.
I just did what everyone told me to do, just feed her water in her bottle. It took her awhile, she wasn't happy at first, so I was feeding her water and then she would get up a bit later and I'd give her some formula...but then I just started giving her water every time she woke up and she probably thought, screw this.
Or maybe the fact that she was only getting water at night made her hungrier during the day so she started eating more. I know her eating habits have changed, before I would give her a bottle when she woke up, then she would take her morning nap, and then I would give her breakfast. Now I give her a bottle, she plays for a bit, but then she starts complaining that she is hungry (she bites things/people) to indicate she is hungry, so now I give her both a bottle and breakfast before her nap. Soon it'll be just breakfast, I hope!
