Hi Jill

I donn't know if this will help with Tommy but I have never given Skye a

bottle in her cot - what we do is before her naptime give her a bottle - she

has only just started to hold it herself so I now lay her on the floor and

when she starts to play with it I take it off her put her to bed and put her

lullaby music on - I then just walk out and shut the door.

Sometimes I am sure she is trying to scream the roof off but hey what can

that hurt.

Hope this helps and glad you are feeling better

Regards
