Say goodbye to the bottle!!!

We are saying goodbye to the bottle. Cameron and I decided yesterday, that having Eliza go through THREE Pj's in one night means no more bottle. This is going to be a hard task for everyone due to the fact that we live with my parents. My parents HATE to hear Eliza cry, they run into our room every time she does. So we came up with a solution........ EAR PLUGS!!!! We have now successfully had 3 naps and 1 nights rest without a bottle. But it has not been easy! It's hard to allow her to just cry and cry and cry herself to sleep but we are determined to get her off the bottle. I hope neither Cameron and I give in and that we can complete wean her off the bottle forever!!! Wish us luck!!!

We just weaned Max off his binky at naps and bedtime. Though to be fair all that meant was saying "nope, no binky, you're a big boy now" no fuss no muss.

we did use the ferber method for other things though. a few days and they get used to the new routine.

good luck

You guys are such awesome parents! Eliza is such a good influence on Madi. I can't wait to watch these little girls as they get bigger. I love Eliza so much! She can do this

You sure know how to strike fear into the hearts of parents everywhere! I hope things are going well and all involved are able to stick to their guns!
