Getting an almost 2.5 yo off using a baby bottle..
Yes, i am slack, and i feel really bad .. i have attempted this about 3 times in the last 12 months (i should have tried harder i know) DD is still using a baby bottle for her bottle in the morning and the one right before bed (and when daddies home, she gets one in the middle of the day too.. but we wont even GO there!!)
So not yesterday but the day before, i thought "Right! thats it.. no more bottles" so her bed time one was in one of the sipper cups we have at home (we have a few different types) she was not impressed only drank not even half and went to sleep.. the next monring, she drank less than the night before. Last night she would have one suck and put it down, and was dropping off to sleep, i couldnt let her go to sleep without her milk (she still has formula twice a day) so i caved and put it into one of her baby bottles, she did this little giggle (when shes really excited) and sucked it down! This morning i tried one of those 'take-n-toss' sipper cups.. again, a mouthful and puts it down, i try to prompt her but she just has another mouthful and puts it down..
i think the flow is too fast maybe? i know it would feel different, but what do i do???? Should i just continue and of she doesnt drink her milk oh well, its nearly that time anyway?
is there a brand of cup that works the best for this? anyway help would be amazing, i feel like such a weak mother for caving, as its not the first time ive caved.. i cant even stick this out :sigh:
