sleepy time habit

hi all

my daughter is 2 and a half, and just recently i stopped giving her milk at naps and bedtime, for her teeth's sake. and because she was drinking so much milk. sometimes 4 cups a day. anwayway, since i quit giving it to her and sleepy time, i will give it to her in the day time and still let her take a sippy of water to bed with her. for the first couple of days she transitioned well. she has always adapted to new things so easy: quitting the binky, a toddler bed, getting a baby brother, but this milk thing... for the last week she cries for it and i dont give in, but she cries and fights sleeping for so long, and it has resulted in me having to rock her to sleep or tickle her armsback till she goes to sleep. i just need some tips on how to make this transition easier on both of us. thanks for listening.

Habits are so hard to brek for little ones!

I don't ahve any suggestions, except that eventually she will get used to the new rules and it will get better

I wish you the best!
