Toddler Uses Bottle for Comfort & Won't Give It Up

My 22 month old DD is addicted to her bottle. Whenever she is nervous or upset, she demands it even if she had one 2 mins before and we know she is not hungry or thirsty. If we don't give it to her- she throws a fit of screaming that is literally out of control. My pedia saw it first hand today and even was a bit shocked at the level and length of her fits. Doc even said she doesn't recommend going cold turkey b/c she thinks it would be too traumatic for her. She is a very sensitive child. I am at my wits end....I don't think there is...

Has Anyone Ever Heard of Putting Baby Food Besides Cereal in the Baby's Bottle?

I was watching a show last night about single parents and their struggles and was in shock when one mother poured a jar of baby sweet potatoes in her baby's bottle. I've never seen or heard of such a thing. To me it seems like it would just add on to extra calories and tooth decay. But then again on the other hand I realized that it's still the same diet that most people go by for their baby, just more convenient. Has anyone else ever tried it before? Please keep in mind that I DON'T plan on doing this.

My Son Won't sleep....I'm Sooooo Burned Out!!

My son is 6 months now and still won't sleep through the night! He goes to bed at about 9:30pm and is up aleast 2-3 times each night, and he WILL NOT take naps durning the day! Everyone says sleep when he sleeps, but the only time I have to get anything done is at night so I'm up until atleast 12 or 1am. Of course, as soon as I lay down, he wakes up. He does share a room with us (1 bedroom apt) so when he starts making any noise I have to get him right away because I don't want him to wake Daddy who has to get up at 5am. I try to rock him...
