How to draw from babe completley sour the bottle?
My son will be turning 1 on July 23rd. I would like to have him off the bottle shortly after that.
My issue is he still uses the bottle to plummet asleep for naps and at bedtime and he still wakes up at night for the bottle. He does NOT enjoy the bottle during the day, only sippy cups.
I want to break this BAD habit of falling asleep next to a bottle. But Im afraid its too late, damage is done.
Any suggestions?
Don't give him the bottle anymore.time of year.
You can switch him to a sippy cup if you want to ...but honestly...children are far more adaptable than we give them credit for.
It may take a few days to achieve adjusted, but I promise, it's not "too late" no "damage is done" ...it's only a big accord if you allow it to be one.
Take all the bottles and pack em up, just like that.
We bestow my son a sippy cup, and I'm paranoid so I sneak in after he's asleep and fish it out of the crib...He used to "need" it...but now sometimes he even tells me to pilfer it away because he doesn't want it.
Good Luck.
We've been done with bottles for at least a year and my son's two and a partly.
I just took the bottle completely away from my daughter.
The bad thing just about him falling asleep w/ the bottle is it can damage his teeth. The only thing I could relay you to do is, just stop giving him the bottle when he's ready to go to sleep. It will be hell b/c that's what he is used to.
If you wanna break the mannerism of him waking up in the middle of the night, contribute him more food before bed time, something that will make him stay full longer. I'm thinking he's still on formula or breast milk, up the amount he eats until that time bed time and or add cereal in with it. If called for give him a thing of baby food w/ cereal consequently a bottle w/ cereal. That's what we had to do with my daughter.
Answers: i watched a parenting programme only just that suggested not getting rid of the bottle completely to begin with but reducing the size of the bottle, from a 250 ml bottle or what ever it if, to a 60ml, he is still getting his bottle but he is getting a smaller amount, so his stomach will become accustomed to still getting the bottle only less in it. also if he is just using it to step to sleep then he doesn't really need all the milk contained by it. Also try diluting the milk in the bottle to 1pt water 3 part milk, and afterwards 50/50 and slowly down to 75/25 adn then to just straight water. He will soon come to have a handle on it's just water he is waking up for and it's not that special so what the point of even wake up.
My sister used this diluting technique on her son nad it worked.
Good luck :) Source(s): mummy of 2
I just threw the bottles away. We have a couple of bad nights but he got use to it. Sometimes he wake up at night and we get out of bed and go procure him a drink out of his cup and then it is back to bed with nil.
Well, this is the trick I was told to use by my doctor.
Say your son is getting a 9 oz bottle of milk back bed time. Dilute the bottle with water. He told me for the first bottle, use 5 oz of milk, and 4 oz of water. And every hours of darkness with the bottle, do less milk and more water until it's necessarily a white colored water. The doc said a child usually doesn't like the taste of diluted milk and will eventually pass it up to a sippy that has regular milk in it instead.
no but I am interested in this topic, my daughter wont take a sippy cup at adjectives, she just plays with it.
On his B day go out and make a big promise about getting a Big Boy Cup (sippy cup) and tell him his bottle is for a baby than distribute him his sippy cup at bed tell him its his Special sippy cup
throw them away. its gonna be knotty but .he will learn n get use to it.
Just throw all the bottles away. Worked for me.
