I Think We Finally Got Rid of The Bottle

DS has been drinking juice, tea, etc. from the sippy cup for a few weeks now but not milk. Last night I gave him milk in the sippy cup and he drank it. I think at almost 14 months old I got him completely off the bottle. Now I hope MIL (who watches him during the day) sticks with it.

Re: I Think We Finally Got Rid of The Bottle

Did he drink it in place of the bedtime bottle, or was it with dinner and then nothing before bed? I am not sure how to get rid of the bedtime bottle. He wont take a sippy in my lap before bed, he freaks out. I might try water in the bottle...?

Re: I Think We Finally Got Rid of The Bottle

His last bottle before bed is milk so instead of putting milk in the bottle I put it in the sippy cup last night. DS actually took to the sippy cup faster than I thought he would.

Wow that's great! Ryan cries and throws the bedtime sippy Guess he's not ready yet LOL

Re: I Think We Finally Got Rid of The Bottle

I had a hard time with my Mom at first jsut giving him sippy cups. She thought he was too young and still needed his bottle. I had to sit her down and really let her know my feelings on it. Now we are all sippy cups

That is great!!

I wish I could do it with Ali

Re: I Think We Finally Got Rid of The Bottle

Thanks everyone. I started DS with sippy cups at 6 months old and he did not want anything to do with them. When he turned a year I started again and he would take it a little at a time but the last few weeks I have given it to him all the time and now he is great with it.
