This is a really good list! I went over things like this at the interview with my latest newbie, who is 18 months, and even so, when he was dropped off for his first day on Tuesday, mom casually mentions "there's a bottle in the bag, just give it to him when you lay him down for nap."
At 18 months old!! Plus the soother is still permanently attached to the front of his shirt, and if I let him, almost always in his mouth.
A lot of parents, especially first-time parents, tend to "baby" toddlers WAY more than is necessary. I'm not saying I didn't at all, but my kids were certainly not being given a bottle in their beds at 18 months old! They were never given a bottle in their beds at all, as it's terrible for their teeth.
This little guy is in for a rough transition...I think the best you can do is provide a list like the above one - and then hope and pray they actually pay attention to some of it. Most of us will have to do the hard stuff for them, though....transition ing new infants sucks.
