Need advice...5 month old wanting bottle to fall asleep?

I say just let him have the bottle our twins are that way and I am not about to fight it with twins. I'll stop it when we get them completely off the bottle. If your really concerned about this and want to break the habit this age is great age to introduce self soothing. Basically wait till your little one is so tired, full and has a clean diaper and lay him down in his crib awake. If he is really tire he will only cry for about 15 min and be asleep. Start this at night first for the first 2-3 days and then start with the naps. I did this with our son at 5 months and it only took 3-4 days and he was a great self soother. I could just lay him down in crib and with in 5 min of no crying or fussing he would be asleep.
