I've a 18 month old daughter , she is recently vomitting at night, its been going on for more than a week now, she goes to bed with milk bottle , and i've tried a lot not giving her bottle in bed but she cries uncontrolably and then throws up, and if i give her bottle she sleeps but gets up after an hour or so and cries as if she is very uncomfortable and then throws up a lot, after that she again ask for an ounce or so of milk then sleeps fine whole night, this has been going on since a week, i've tried so many things but nothing is working, i've tried not to give her bottle and offer her milk in a sippy cup but she wont drink it whole day and at night cry for her bottle to sleep and if i dont give her she vomits by crying a lot , pls help me what should i do. During day also she takes milk 2 times in a bottle but never vomits.

Have you tried giving her water in the bottle instead of milk?  What is happening along with everything else is terrible for her teeth.  Have you tried giving her Mylicon before bed?

At the very least, you need to be brushing her teeth after every bottle, even if it is the middle of the night.  Giving a bottle of milk for a child to drink in bed is really terrible for the teeth, it can decay them and cause a whole lot of dental damage.  And vomiting is even worse, because it will have stomach acids in it.

I would have an appointment with her pediatrician right away, and tall the pedi the whole story you have explained above, and get advice.  Also a checkup for your daughter's teeth.  It's very serious.  My nephew had to have $2,500 worth of dental work and he is only 3.

i've tried a new sleeping plan since last 2 nights and i think its working cos she is not vomitting at night, all this vomitting started happening when i refuse to give her bottle and tried sipper i think from that day she got scared that her bottle will b taken from her and think thats why became more possesive abt it. abt her theeth even i m very concerned , i regularly brush her teeth in morning and night but she takes her night bottle after her brush cos she need it to go to sleep, and sometimes even in the middle of the night she takes an once or so.
i think i will have her cry it out and let her even vomit but not give her bottle, twice i made her cry for 30 minutes at the pitch of her voice after which she vomitted a lot, i think i will 've to b more strong and yes i will definately get her theeth examined and talk to her pediatrician abt it.
can u pls suggest me how to take her bottle away? i reallly need help on this.
when she was born she started taking pacifier at 2 months till 9 months since then she has got attached to her bottle, she does not take it whole day just for sleeping she needs it.
