Still on That bottle...HELP

Hey D., sippy cups are the way to go. I know that the crying gets to you but in the end you have to get rid of the bottles once and for all and give them the cups. I trained many and I rather deal with a few days of crying than a lifetime of rotten teeth. Try the cups with straws, character ones. Let them pick out their own cup. I know that after a long day of working hard the last thing we need to hear is a kid screaming, but those are the sacrifices we have to make. Yes, I know easier said then done. Remember that with accomplishments they get rewards as well as we do. A parents job is a work in progress we continuously learn with our kids! Good luck with the sippy cup solution. Let me know how things go. N. P.S. Writing poetry is the best past time I have, maybe we can share some. Reading is my next best thing! What types of books do you like reading?

Be strong. Resist. They cant scream and cry forever; they just have more stamina than you think you do. Try distracting them with something. Other than that put them in their room. Close the door and put on some headphones.

It's the best thing for all of you. You are doing more damage then good by letting them remain on the bottle and by giving into their crying.

Don't allow them to manipulate you. As long as they are fed, healthy and haven't gotten physically hurt they are fine.

my daughter will be 1 she doesn't hold the bottle herself

I think if they're one and 2, it's okay...but 3 is the cut-off!
