I'm probably in a slightly different situation but yes, we switched to a sippy of milk and then eventually a sippy of water. But I feel like my son eventually wanted it for comfort rather than being hungry.

Actually, no. He got used to it pretty quickly. But I think he stopped being hungry during the night and just liked the comfort of the sippy.

Now he's been sleeping through the night (for like a week) and we've been leaving the water sippy cup in the crib with him with the hopes that he will find it himself if he wakes up.

@Tanjowen: do you just do a regular sippy or have you tried a straw cup? My LO switched very easily from his bottles to straw cups with silicone straws. Wondering if maybe the sucking is comforting?

After he weened himself and still woke up in the night I rocked him. I leave a sippy cup of water in his crib so if he wakes up thirsty it is there. Most nights he doesn't touch it but there are some nights he drinks the whole thing.

I've started giving him a little snack before bed with his milk and now he's not waking up. His snack will be some fruit or the rest of his dinner if he didn't eat much.

I went to just sippys at a year, so if he really was hungry in the MOTN, I gave him milk in a sippy. It doesn't happen often, but still occasionally. I usually try to settle him without milk or water, but if he keeps asking for it, I figure he needs it.
