Loosing a bedtime battle

[~clover~]

In my experience, they often won't unless you make them.
I took the bottle off dd1 at 17 months old. That was it, gone. Dd2 on the other hand, was 4. I tried, then went to a pop top, nothing worked. I can't remember what I ended up doing. But she struggled to go to sleep for a long time after.

I weaned DS from the boob just before he was 2 & that was it for him... Dd3 was the same age. 8 weeks of screaming later & I gave her a bottle. That went to a sippy cup after a while & she was over 3 before I got rid of it. I just kept 'forgetting'. She had milk too. But plain milk, watered down with warm water. She didn't taste full cream milk til after that.

Have you tried moving to a water bottle?
