At our Pediatrician's recommendation, we decided to take Avery off bottles, cold turkey. This has been a tough subject for us since Avery is on the skinny side and has always been very attached to her bottles, drinking them throughout the day. We did some prep work this weekend before pulling the plug. We took her to Barnes & Noble to pick out a Bye-Bye Bottle book and Daddy took her to the store to pick out new sippy cups.
Then we said bye-bye bottles and had Avery throw them in the trash. She very willingly tossed them all out and said "bye-bye" to them. When she asks for "ba-ba" now, we remind her that she threw them out because big girls don't use bottles.
So far so good, she's eating great and enjoying her big girl sippies and cups. The first night at 2AM we endured an hour of bottle breakdown, but Mommy's water cup seemed to satisfy her thirst. I'm elated to announce that after almost a week of no bottles, we have a very happy little girl! She now eats more than she's eaten in her whole life and enjoys it and is now happy all the time! Avery is sweet, affectionate, silly and energetic. I'm absolutely infatuated with the new little girl she has become.
How did my little baby grow up so fast already? Can this pretty little girl be my tiny baby?
Don't grow up too fast my sweet baby girl, Mommy has a hard time letting go.
