I feel like we are trapped in bottle H*LL!

DD is 12 months old. DD has been teething hard core for 2 months (she is a slow and forever teether). She has 5 teeth that cut at once and still seems to be chewing away at everything hardcore. She will take water from a sippy, no milk. Only drinks milk from the bottle. Still wakes at night about twice for a milk bottle- nothing else comforts her. CIO is awful- she screams so loud and cries so hard it is almost impossible to bare (others have heard her and are amazed at how loud and upset she gets.) She refuses the water bottle at night. I wish I knew what was going on with her. We give motrin and it doesn;t keep her comfortable. I feel like this is strict habit and only wants comfort from milk out of the bottle. I water the milk bottle down at night but can't get past 50/50 with her. We are all sleeping terribly at this point and I feel like I am not seeing an end to this in the very near future.

How much does she weigh and how often do you do Motrin? Have you tried Hylands Teething Tablets? My kids woke for a bottle until they were 9-10 mos old. One night I stopped giving the bottle went in and comforted but that was it. 2 nights they slept through the night

She weighs 22 pounds. We do 1.875 before bed. We give it when she seems uncomfortable. I feel like I am afraid to give the Motrin because I am not always sure she really needs it. The Ped. told us not to give teething tablets because of the bella donna being a sedative. We have tried not giving the bottle and it is a huge failure, we try water but with that she wakes more for sips but eventually flips out for the milk bottle.
