Buh-bye mid-morning bottle!
Yes, 1 bottle gone, three to go! This one was easy to give up, it was after his morning nap but usually just an hour before lunch. He was taking the bottle fine, but then lunch was becoming a nightmare. I have been trying more 'big kid' food with him and he was not digging it. In fact, mealtime was becoming a nightmare, picture lips locked shut, head shaking no, and arms flailing sending food flying off thet spoon! You should have seen what I was doing to get this kid to eat. My 'mom' friends suggested cutting out a bottle, then he would be more hungry, happy to say they were right! He still isn't a 'great' eater, but does LOVES his Cheerios, Yogurt, and Goldfish. Any advice on what bottle to cut out next: the one with breakfast, after afternoon nap, or nighttime???

I vote for the after nap one. Then he has one in the morning and one at night. Then change out the morning one with a sippy cup with milk or juice. The bedtime one is the hardest and should be the last to go. Just my thoughts.
