Night bottles

Following I’m desperate to wean him off them

We stopped the one before bed first, then did the one during the night.
He chose his own bottle/cup from the shop, and I replaced the pre sleep bottle with milk in that. A bit of initial protesting, but nothing like what I had imagined it would be like. Then, when he was happily taking milk in his new ‘
big boy’ one, we then stopped the night bottle. He’d wake and ask for a ‘bot bot’ and we’d offer him the new cup. Again, initial protests, but nothing major and it only lasted a couple of days. Sometimes he’d wake and take a few sips from the new cup, other times he’d just refuse and go back to sleep.
Now if he wakes, I’ve replaced the milk with water. Again, sometimes he’ll have some and other times he’ll just leave it and go back to sleep.

I honestly put it off for so long because I was imagining huge meltdowns and weeks without sleep! And it was nowhere near as bad as I had made it out to be in my head. There were tears about it, but he adjusted surprisingly quickly. And after the initial day or two of asking, he literally forgot they even existed.

That’s good to know, i don’t think the amount of milk of little boy is having is helping his constipation 🤔 I think il give it a go next week when im off work, incase we have the odd bad night x
