For those BTDT and stopping the bottle - Q

When you say you stopped/reduced the bottled, do you mean you replaced by the sippy cup or something like that?

Re: For those BTDT and stopping the bottle - Q

I taught DC how to use a straw while they were still using the bottle. I used a juice box, so that I could squeeze the juice and they would eventually close thier mouths and sip away. Once they learned that, then I watered down juice in a cup with a lid and straw. On thier 1st birthday, I stopped bottles...COLD TURKEY! Best decision I made!

When I say stop I mean that he gets no liquid in the bottle. But I didn't necessarily replace bottles for sippys..the only replacement was the first and last bottle...those were replaced by sippys because he wants something to drink. But for the rest of the day he is given a sippy with snacks and lunch and a water sippy is always available when he wants something to drink.

I think it's so cute how he feels thristy and goes for it. Such a little man.

yes, i started giving him milk and water in the sippy instead of the bottle.
