Yeah I think he is teething, that would definitely explain the tears for no reason and the moodiness and gumpiness.

He seems to be working on his last eye tooth for ages now, it just has not come through.  That is the last of his 1 year teeth, and to top that off I think his 2 year molars are coming through too, his gums are pretty raised.

Thankfully (and fingers crossed) it has not affected his sleep, so will take the grumpiness etc for now  :-\

Well today we had sucess again  ;D ;D

I went into the kitchen, he followed me and stood outside the gate, I warmed his milk in his sippy, and I just handed it to him.  He took it and walked over to the couch.  I put him on the couch, he had a sip and gave the cup to me.  I said do you want mummy to do it, and I gave it to him and he drank 6 oz.  ;D ;D ;D 8)

He ate all his food today too, so maybe his teeth are not bothering him as much either.

I feel like we are getting there slowly but surely.

Thanks again for sticking with us.

Well this afternoon's lunch did not go down at all.  I gave him some meds before his nap, so hopefully he will wake up in a better mood and we can try something else to eat.

Will let you know how tonights milk goes .......

It was definitely his teeth bothering him today.  He ate some of his dinner, and drunk half of his milk.

At least he is drinking out of his cup.  I think we eventually have him weaned  ;D

Howdy,

I wonder if you guys could give a novice some advice please?

My little man is almost 15 months and I give him two bottles per day - 2 x 9oz, one before nap and one at bedtime. He drinks no probs out of a sippy cup for water etc but haven't faced the milk situation yet.

My question is that his bottle signifies sleepy time, so do I simply swap the bottle for the cup and carry out the same routine? For example, bedtime, I get him washed, into PJ's heat up his milk, take him up to his bedroom and give him his bottle before putting him down. Do I just swap the bottle for the cup or should he drink his milk before bath, PJ's etc?

I've currently got him the anti-spill Tommie tippee cups, with the spout you need to bite on to release the juice, I think I might be better with an easier flowing cup, can you recommend one please?

We're expecting another baby early July so would make life easier if he's off bottles but don't want to disturb his routine too much as at the moment he gets his milk, we put him down and he goes straight to sleep  :).

Thanks in advance for any help.
