Oops forgot.
We tried to start weaning him from his bottle. One word. Fail.
We tried cold turkey one morning. He just wouldn't. Then later I gave it as a drink with his solids, he did a little better but still. So this was messing up his naps because he was too hungry to sleep. We already had that problem when he was little, not messing with that again. So then we bought new nipples for his bottle. See, he still had the newborn flow. Lots of things I read about trying to continue breastfeeding said to stay with the low flow (after all, the hole isn't going to get bigger on a breast) so I wondered if that was why he didn't like the sippy cup. Well I think we are right because we bought 9 month flow and it's all to fat for him. He knows instantly. The sad thing is, there are two more levels between newborn and 9 month, so we don't know if we should spend money on those abs do it more gradually, or not. For now, we just went back to normal. I think part of us worry he's not ready (and we have time, the goal is 18 months) and post of it is us being too overwhelmed to want to fight it quite yet.
