My 2 year took a whole month to get rid of the bottle. Massive fits and screaming for it up to 2 hours some days.
Literally you just have to stay strong. It’s miserable.
You could offer stuffed animals or soft blankets.
Maybe go to build a bear and let her make one?
You could always try the pacifier fairy method that people talk about on tic tok

Some toddlers find biting/chewing to be soothing. When we took my LO pacifier away I gave her a teether. She used it for a few weeks to initially fall asleep and connect cycles but now she doesn't use it at all.

Try switching your bottle out for a sippy cup. We did one bottle at a time per day till all bottles were from the sippy cup. My LO does best with 4oz of milk after every meal so that might help you too. We offer the last cup of milk before we start our bedtime routine.

My LO was biting her pacifiers too so Everytime she would bite through one I would show her and say now it's broken and have her throw it away. After the last one got thrown away I replaced it with a teether because she was chewing on her finger 🥴 If your LO isn't chewing on it then you can try poking a hole in the tip or cutting a tiny bit off. They will usually get rid of it themselves cause the sucking action is gone. I know a lot of Moms who have had good success with that method.

@Sarah, thanks. We have the NUK bottles with the sippy cup nipples and that's what we use. Might have to try this in a week or so. Her Papa just passed unexpectedly, so I'm gonna wait a bit.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
