Weaning: Lunch milk

Aug 02, 2010

Little Bug did GREAT with her Born Free Sippy at lunch!

She took a LONG time to drink her milk but she lay on my lap and drank her milk like she does with her bottle.

She didn’t drink the usual 6 ounces of milk, but she got about 4-5 down, so that is good. I’m thinking once she gets completely used to that sippy she will go back to drinking the 6 ounces of milk. If she doesn’t, I’m not worried about her getting enough to eat because the girl probably eats more than I do! :)

I was so proud of her today at lunch. This transition from bottles to sippy is probably harder for me than her!

Now, I need to decide if I will go to the sippy cold turkey TODAY or if I will continue to let her have a bottle in the morning and at bedtime.

I am kind of leaning towards going cold turkey because I’m afraid going back and forth may confuse her.

I’ll see how she does today with her dinner milk and make a decision from there.

I might have a good thing going and maybe I should hide the bottles from the countertop so she doesn’t see them! :)
