Think we made a boo boo...

posted 21st Jan
DS hasn't been going to bed very good lately. Come to find out when I try and snuggle him to sleep, if he has a sippy cup he knows its different and doesn't like it. He gets his same old bottle, now with milk and he drinks it and snuggles himself to sleep on me. I probably should have never started rocking him to sleep with a bottle anyway, I knew this day would come when he doesn't necessarily need the bottle.
He is bottle broken all day except bedtime. Even nap time he will drink a sippy cup while we rock him. So basically, do I let him have the bottle until he just doesn't want it anymore at night? Or should I continue to give him his cup at night and just have rocky bedtimes until he is used to the cup at night? He is just being a creature of habit about his night time bottle.

How old is he? Personally, I'd let it go if he's still young.

I would get rid of all the bottles. Idk how old he is but if he's old enough to go get himself a milk bottle he's probably too old to have it anymore.

Oh, I'd totally let it go. My oldest wasnt ready to give it up at that age but did himself a 18 months. My youngest is 14 months and still as 3 bubbas a day

I can roll with that. I don't personally see the harm in it, but I have been told by many many people to cold turkey that night time bottle. It just isn't conducive to a peaceful bedtime.

I found a lot of ppl had the answers to everything. Just go with your instincts. The way i look at it, they won't be babies forever, and they won't still want a bottle when they're 12 so cherish it while you have it
