On Thursday we made a big step and said no more bottles cause we are a big girl now!!!
We got a couple balloons(however one popped on our way out) so we could send our left over bottles to heaven for the babies could have them. We threw the rest in the trash and waved bye!! I basically cold turkey Caitlin ( mean Mommy) but it was the only way to do it I think. Caitlin depends so much on her bottle still that its really hard to get her to eat. Also if she is on it to long it can delay her speech as well as her chewing skills so we decided it was time.
She was getting about 3 bottle a day still-
1 in the morning 1 right before nap time and one before bed.
How's it going so far?? Actually great!!!! the first night without it she remembered that her bottle was all gone and kept saying about the balloon and all gone. We tried from a cup she had a couple sips. Second day Friday morning she asked for it and I reminded her that it was all gone she said OK and took a cup , she drank about 4-5 oz. She ate breakfast that morning, she never eats breakfast!!!! She ate lunch super good at group and still came home and ate even more!! Big step for us!!! Last night I offered her cup again and she drank almost the whole thing from a cup!!!! This morning again she asked for it but I gave her a cup instead and she drank a little bit.
even though she has asked for it a couple times she hasn't cried for it once. So we are doing super good!! Way to go Caitlin!!!!
Here are our pictures of bye- bye bottle!!!
