guster Is it the bottle you want to get rid of or the milk? If it's the bottle I'd go cold turkey in place of a sippy. If it's the milk I'd gradually decrease. It's the idea of the bottles to fall asleep which makes me think I need to decrease the milk gradually, and then go cold turkey. This is what we did with B; he had become dependent on a sippy of milk (in his crib) to get to sleep. We cut the amount down over a period of a couple weeks and eventually broke him of it.

Hi guys. I just realized I never checked in today. S was up at 6:30 against so we got an early start. We spent most of the morning at the garden store looking at plants and at Aldi getting some necessities. Both girls took long naps, and I even fell asleep for a while. This afternoon we went to a friend's house to play until dinner. vino all the love to you. It's so sweet how B "talks" to your dad.

More life updates. I have a giant pimple or something under my left armpit and my bra has been rubbing on it all day. It hurts. My left boob also hurts like I have a clogged duct but I can't feel a clog so idk. It feels like it's deeper or something. S has not cleared it yet, but that's kind of hard when she only nurses on that side one time a day.

My kids have been holy terrors all evening. I feel like a shit mom. I cried in the shower. Dh had a "2 hour job" to do at his dad's shop. 4 hours and 45 minutes later, he's home. He's home with the boys tomorrow and I left him a loooong list of crap do to. I can't wait to leave for our trip when I get home tomorrow. I need the break so freaking bad.

As you all know, we have been having a lot of bedtime issues. H has been asking for a Moana costume for months now. I told her that if she is good for bedtime/stays in her bed etc for a week we would get it for her. Let's hope it works.

M pooped before he got in the bath, like normal. After he got in, I walked away to let him play a little. I come back in 5 minutes to wash him. I'm soaping up the towel and M tells me to look in the toilet because there is poop in there. I said no there isn't because we flushed it. He said no, I get out the bath tub and I poop and got back in. 😳 I lift up the lid and sure enough, there is poop. I asked him if he tried to wipe. He said no and continues to play in the water. 🤢 We could have been a Clorox commercial. #bleachitaway For life's bleachable moments...
I'm just glad there was no splashing going on tonight.

guster, I'm in the same situation with you and the bottle at night/nap time. Lue currently won't go to sleep without us handing her a bottle. To be honest, it's been so convenient and easy to just do that so I'm dreading breaking her of the habit. She's been waking up at night wanting a bottle now too though.

I feel like I am dealing with it on auto pilot. I just make the bottle full because my brain can't process anything else. I may have to write down the schedule and stick it on the almond milk.
