Help with weaning
I had both down to 2 bottles a day one with breakfast and one before bed. They've been getting milk in their sippy cups during lunch and water the rest of the day.
This morning I took away the one at breakfast and gave them milk in their sippy cups. DD actually threw the sippy at me a few times while continually crying, DS just cried. I gave them some cheerios and that seemed to distract them. DS drank some milk out of it, DD drank very little. They are playing now so I think we made it through ok.
My dilemna is do I still give them their bedtime bottle to make sure they are getting enough milk or do I go cold turkey and give them milk in their sippy before bedtime. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Help with weaning
This is where I am with DD right now :-( She threw a full body tantrum when I tried to give her milk in a sippy for her morning drink yesterday. Like screaming, arching her back, flailing around. So I caved and gave her back a bottle. We are just working on day time bottles to sippies - hoping daycare will help us with that in the next few weeks. then I think i'm going cold turkey with daytime bottles. Once she's off them and drinking during the day I will work on the bedtime one.
Not easy - my son was SO simple, I'm not used to this kind of a challenge!

DD had a really difficult time with the transition. I can't remember exactly how I weaned her but I do remember that there were Nuby sippies that had a soft spout that worked much better than the hard spout that she loved. She also really like the take n toss ones. Again a little softer than the playtex type.
Good luck.
