I'm a parent, and this just seems off the charts. My daughter was out of diapers at about 3 years, 8 months, which we thought was kind of late. The great part is that, almost two years later, she has only had one "accident" during that time. My son was out of them even earlier. Anyway, the second part is the bottle feeding. We felt a little guilty giving our kids a bottle in the middle of the night until they were three. The principle concern is "bottle mouth" or rotting teeth. We would actually brush our children's teeth after the midnight bottle. As a result, no cavities. And it was just one bottle. To give a child six bottles throughout the night is crazy. That means the child is waking up for the bottle every 1.5 hours. Besides the calories and the potential tooth problem, it also means the child is getting terrible sleep, and that she would have to have diapers because there is no way to learn bladder control when you have that much fluid in you. Amazing.
