Feeding milk to sleeping baby at night

I love my bottle - This was taken on the night of New Year's Eve 2007. She was playing with her bottle and now she can open it by herself. What a strong hands.

My mother in law told me not to feed my daughter of 13months milk during her night sleep. If she's thirsty I can just give her water in her bottle (in her sleep, usually she's rolling everywhere when she's thirsty or hungry in her sleep). She said that this could let my daughter not be used to pee during her sleep which would be a preparation when my daughter has to let go off her diapers. So now, I only feed her milk before her sleep (like 9pm) and a few hours before she wake up (3 or 4 am) during her sleep. I hope this could work. But in another hand, I also feel pity for my daughter because before I gave her milk (120ml) during her sleep in the middle of the night (like 12 or 1am) and I can hear her stomach sounds when I'm late to feed her. What's your opnion about this? How do you treat your baby at night? Do you feed your baby a bottle of milk in their sleep?

I don't believe in this because I believe that babies need all the nutrition they can get. I think that your daughter may starve if you don't give her the milk she should be drinking even if it is in the wee hours of the night. My son is just eight months old and he still wakes up at around 2:00 am to feed. Oh my gosh, you'll not be able to ignore him during that time because he really wails when he's hungry. But that's just my opinion. The best thing is to talk to your pedia and consult that suggestion with your doctor.Ask an expert's advice.
