Talk me off my hormonal ledge

H and I decided to pack up the bottles. For the past few weeks he's been down to just one bedtime bottle and for the past week or so we have replaced that one with a sippy before we start his bedtime routine.

The problem is I can't remember the last time I gave him a bedtime bottle and now I'm freaking out about it. It's probably just PMS but seriously, guys, tell me I'm not nuts.

You're not nuts! We are on week 2 with no bottles. Ian was down to 2, 1 when he got up in the morning and 1 at bed time. I was freaking out about the bed time bottle because that was our snuggle time...otherwise, he wouldn't let me snuggle him. The first week was a little rough, for me. He wouldn't let me rock him at all! There was no snuggling! Otherwise it went fine. His sleep didn't change at all. This week has been better, for me. He started letting me rock him a little bit before wanting to be put to bed. It was definitely more rough on me than him.

And I'll say that last week when I actually packed up the bottles, I cried! It was like that one final little thing that made him a "baby" and now it's gone.
