Switching to cups for milk? (10 mo)

[~*Nicole*~]

Nice! I am hoping that it continues to go well. I would LOVE to be done with bottles around 12 months. That would be fantastic. I feel badly for saying this, but it always drove me nuts to see kids who were 2 or older walking around in public with bottles. I saw a girl not long ago who had to be almost 3 with a bottle at a birthday party. She had the bottle one minute and a cola the next! It was ridiculous looking, but then for some parents I do supposed it's a matter of picking your battles etc.etc. But I for one will be glad to be done with them sooner than later.

I feel the same way....can't stand seeing toddlers with bottles!  I used to babysit for a little girl who would climb up on the counter and fill her own bottle...TOO OLD!  And her mom used to put coffee in there, too    I really hope to be done with them by 1 year, too!!!

Sounds like you are doing great, girls!!!  It does feel like you're not feeding them all day when you add the fluids with their meals!  Our routine is going well over here too!  Pats on the back to all of us!!!!!

Still going strong with all cups except the last bottle before bed. She hasn't gotten upset or seemed to miss the bottles so long as she doesn't SEE them. hehe. She has even started to whine for me to hurry with making her formula in the cup as soon as she SEES the cup so I guess she realizes that it is the same as the bottle essentially.
