I have my 19 month old on sippy cups during the day. He still naps where I give him a bottle to do so; and also at night I give him a bottle to fall asleep with. He wakes up twice in the night time looking for more of his bottle. I have tried changing it to water but he cries hysterically when it isn't his milk.
He also cries/refuses to go for a nap unless he has a milk bottle. I've tried giving him sippies at nap, (and at night) as well as water bottles, but he refuses, cries, and makes a big deal. So I just give in to it, and get him his bottle where he will go fast asleep with it. (He's otherwise a pretty good 19 month old.)
What do I do? How do I get him off of these nightime bottles? Is it so bad, to leave him on the bottle at his age? And hope he will give them up in time??? Thank you for any responses!
