Hi all.... DS is now 1 (I can't believe it!) and I want to be done with bottles. I have a couple of questions though....
1. DS wakes up hungry in the morning, and I usually give him a bottle around 6, and then he eats breakfast at daycare around 8 which is a huge timesaver for us. Should I just give him some milk in a cup when he wakes up? Or try to get him to wait an hour or two for breakfast?
2. How much liquiid (milk, water, etc) should he be drinking in a day?
3. In what order did you take away bottles? We're down to 2 right now, the first one of the day and the last one of the day. Last night, I gave him formula/milk in a sippy cup (we're also gradually getting him used to milk too)and he didn't seem to miss the bottle too much, but he did not go to sleep as quickly as he normally does. Do you think it's related?
Edited to add:
$. I am also thinking of trying to break the paci habit... would that be too much all at one time?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!!
