Giving up the bottle |
 |

I learnt from experience that trying to get my little one to give up the bottle was going to be a
tough task. So i opted for the
sipper cup option. My daughter and i threw away all of her
bottles and replaced them with
1 sleep time sipper. We marked the cup with
different colours for each
50 mls. We then sat and had a chat about what was going to happen each
sleep. To begin with we started with a
full cup. At the next sleep we took the fluid down to the
next 50ml mark, continuing this untill there were
no marks to fall back on. everytime we took away
50mls i would explain that when it got to the end, there was no more sleep time drink. She was quite satisfied with this and even got excited when we were down to the
next colour mark!!!! May not work for everyone, but it worked a
treat for me....
