Transitioning From Bottle to Sippy Cup....

[BrightEyes]

Thank you playfelt.

I will give your advice a try! Her pediatrician said no more than 20oz of milk/day so I have been giving her a 5oz bottle of milk after breakfast, lunch, aft snack and dinner. It makes sense what you are saying about just giving two bottles/day (morning and eve) and then cups through-out the day. I'm just not sure how to go about it in the sense that I don't want her to take in less food knowing an 8oz bottle of milk is coming afterwards or filling up on it before breakfast....and she has never gone to bed with a bottle, I always give it at least a half hour before. I'm thinking maybe to give the bottles as her two snacks, but that interferes with the whole idea of only cups during the day.

I will try giving them after breakfast and dinner anyways, see how it works out!

I will also try giving her the cup when she is on my lap. The bottle she already was feeding herself in a chair so I won't be able to change that much! But I will try giving her the cup when she is on my lap. I will give her cuddles and make it a very positive experience. I think I will have to continue not using the stopper, but I don't mind as long as it helps!
