Hey Ladies, only me, hope you are all well?
Just wanted to pick some brains with those that have older preemies and term babies aswell.
Harry is now 16 months old actual, 12 months corrected. He will drink water at lunch and dinnner time out of a normal 'grown up' cup no problems but i think i have made a rod for my own back.
When he was a baby, he would have a bottle and fall asleep still drinking his bottle, normal i know, but he is still doing that now.
He will 'sometimes' out of a sippy cup but he wont fall asleep and will just scream because he is so tired, he wont take a dummy and i cant seem to get him to go to sleep without giving in and giving him a bottle (either water or milk) i know this is bad habit but when he has been screaming for 2 hours, i dont have the energy to fight.
Anyway, my question is when did you all stop all bottles?Have i left it 2 late to take the bottles away and are my dreams of a 10 year who still has a bottle going to happen
I have tried for the last 3 days now to take out all bottles and its been a nightmare, he hasnt really slept, will drink a bit from a sippy cup but he knows it not the same.
Any help?
Thanks R x
