Bottles

Hey All,

 I haven't been on in probably a year or so. I was addicted to the support on here during pregnancy and during maternity leave, then slowly weaned off. But, my husband and I keep trying to get Q off of bottles and can't seem to work it out. Then I remember the bump and realized you all would know! So, If anyone has advice it is much appreciated! Q is ok about going to bed without a bottle but nap time is almost impossible without one and days are almost impossible without naptime. 

We've tried making them less desirable by filling them with water instead of milk but she just screams for milk. Some things i've read talk about letting her wean herself because it's not worth upsetting everyone so much but i don.t know. any thoughts?

    The only way we got E off her bottles was by using the Nuk active sippy cups.  The nipple is really soft and similar to a bottle nipple, just shaped differently.  She immediately took to them whereas she had refused all others.  You can buy them on Amazon or BabiesRUs.  They are also a little taller and skinnier than typical sippy cups so shaped more like a bottle.  Good luck!

    I personally would do it cold turkey. Just take away the bottles, and only offer sippies. She will absolutely have an adjustment period, but she'll get over it eventually. I'd just do like PP said and offer lots of dairy products and water. 

    I think at this point it's just about breaking the habit. GL! That sounds awful!

    Thanks everyone. She'll drink from any sippy, water bottle, and straws but only likes milk in a bottle. Most the time she'll fall asleep while drinking it but sometimes like tonight, she'll ask for milk, drink it, then go to bed after she's finished it. She loves cheese and yogurt so I know she'll get plenty f dairy, I think Monday we'll try cold turkey and see how it goes.
