She currently has a sippy cup she likes - so I'll just bring that into bed and see how that goes...Santosha - thanks for that recommendation on Jay Gordon - I had a quick look - to be honest, I'd never heard of him before, so I'll do some research on him - but I like the idea of a plan to work through instead of inconsitency that I'm currently working on. But sounds like a gentle plan..just hope that my spirited toddler will be kind to me!
