Good luck.
personally i think the best option is cold turkey, no bottle anywhere near the bedroom, how long did you do controlled crying for? its really hard and does take time and you need to not give up or you just go back to square one if your doing that. we have probelms with our toddler at the mo as we have had another baby, we were doing controlled crying as he wouldnt go to bed and it was going well until my hubby started to sit with him then we has to start from scratch as he thought he could get our attention then,
hope you get some sleep soon!
Sleep is a cycle and only you can break it. Everyone kept telling me to stop feeding and leave him but I couldnt do it until I was ready.............. and ready to break down!! lol
Just do what you feel is right for you at the time, but be consistent so he's not confused.
Good Luck, Good Luck
