My 2.5 year old is still drinking the bottle( normal milk) which I know he shouldn’t but it’s only once at night to sleep as I have a 4 month old and it’s difficult to put them both down, how do I stop the bottle?

We switched up sippy cups. Silicone or hard tip. With my son we did silicone and then hard. With my daughter we were able to just do hard

No advice, just wanted to say my just 3yo still has a bottle as well. I've no idea how to get rid of it, it'll be horrendous for him, so I'm focusing on toilet training first and once that's established will tackle the bottle.

I have a 1 year old and 2 year old and he sometimes still has a bottle expecialy if he see his younger brother with one but I give them both a sippy cup and took the bottle away now they just have a normal juice cup and they don’t really have milk anymore he has juice so dose my younger son as they like to both have same

Not sure if this is helpful or not but my 6 year old dropped it naturally on his own when he was maybe 3 or 4 and my 2 year old (almost 3) still has a bed time bottle and I will do the same continue till she drops it. 😊

We stopped a few months ago, did it gradually by doing less formula and more water every few days. After a couple of weeks it was basically water and he wasn’t bothered. We take a bottle of water up to bed now he can have when we read a story or if he’s thirsty overnight, but no bottles rarely any wake ups overnight either.

My son dropped it in his own as well somewhere after 3rd birthday
I use to use it only at night before that..

My son dropped the bottle as soon as I got sippy cups. He still tried to chew on the lids but I replaced it with a teether easily.

These comments made me feel better.
My 2 year old does a bottle of cows milk before bed.
He will drink from a sippy cup during the day but refuses the sippy cup before bed and wants the bottle. Straw cups and open cups easily for juice, water, etc.
He sleeps through the night and I don’t wanna mess with his routine in risk of messing that up haha.
So it’s nice to read that some kids have kicked it on their own. Our dentist isn’t too worried as it’s one bottle a day. Not every drink is from a nipple bottle so he doesn’t think it is affecting his teeth. Although he suggests doing it as soon as we can.
We didn’t have sex when he wanted to on Friday night so he hasn’t spoken to me since. 😕
Backstory…my day on Friday started at 6am. Starting with getting the kids ready for school, followed by a zillion errands & chores when I got back home that I didn’t finish until well into the evening. After dinner, i get our youngest ready for bed & it’s a struggle getting her to sleep bc she’s not feeling well. I finally get her to sleep around 12:10am. I’m SPENT at this point so I go to our bedroom & lay in the bed close my eyes just to unwind. 12:13am my husband strolls into the room expecting sexy time. He says “are you really sleeping right now?” I say “😑 I’m trying to” He leaves the room about 2 minutes later & doesn’t come back. He hasn’t spoken to me since. This feels like manipulation 🤔

Any advice is needed!
Little boy is 4 months next week and we have been struggling with this for at least 2 months now 😫 the last thing we have tried is infant gaviscon which helped for two weeks and then the constipation started badly. We have decided to come off that and just go back to his milk with nothing in. Which has helped him poo. His reflux is slowly coming back, he’s not being sick he’s just so uncomfortable all day screams in pain. Anyone got any advice to what steps are next? 😫😫😫

Mums who CHOOSE not to breastfeed because they simply just don’t want to (even with a milk supply) why don’t you pump instead of using formula???
this isn’t an attack! just asking out of curiosity!

We're struggling with how to arrange the rooms.
We have a 3 bed property.
We have the largest room.
Daughter (4) has the 2nd largest.
Smaller room is currently an office.
I'm pregnant.
Option 1: Office turns into baby room.
Option 2: Daughter moves into office, 2nd room gets turned into play room/baby room.
Option 3: They share biggest room (eventually). We move into 2nd room. Office turns into playroom.

This might be tmi but im super self conscious.
I’m 4 months PP and me and my husband have not had sex yet. I really want to and I can tell he does too, but he’s not rushing me what’s so ever.
I had 2nd degree tears and needed stitches. When I’m wiping down there, I can FEEL my vaginal hole is bigger. I can feel it’s not the same. My fingers slip in so easily. It’s making me conscious about how sex is definitely not going to be the same anymore, would it even feel pleasurable for me and my husband?
I know it sounds crazy but is there even just ONE person who can relate?

I’m 36 weeks today and I’ve noticed for the past few days I’ve been leaking a little bit of colostrum from both of my boobs. Ive not been hand expressing or collecting it as I’ve been told by my midwife not to collect it until I’m 37 weeks but feel like it’s a waste of colostrum. Did anyone wait until 37 weeks? I want to start collecting but don’t want to incase it’s not safe.
