My 2 year old daughter will not throw her bottle away any help would be very appreciated?

Question

when i try to throw them away she gets them right back out.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 1

Tell her that only babys use bottles and now she is a big girl, get a box, and tell her that you want her help to send all her baby bottles to the new little babys that are coming in to the world. That way she won't feel like your trying to take it from her.

Answer 2

Do it when she is not looking. At night maybe...? We went through this a few months ago with my 2 year old daughter. The pediatrician told us it was best to quit cold turkey. We just told her no more bottles, and that meant no more bottles. She cried the first night. Whined a little the second night. On the third night she didn't even ask for it. It's not easy, but it needs to be done. I know how much it hurts to see them crying for something that seems so easy just to give to them. But you do not want to cause long term problems. My 17 month old had to recently get crowns on her little front teeth due to bottle damage. Believe me, taking away the 2 year old's bottle was 100 times easier than see my little baby go through the pain from the dental work. Do it for her own good.

Some people have had awesome luck with the "bottle fairy". Tell her the Bottle Fairy needs the bottles to take to all the little babies. Bag them up, and together go hang them from a tree or something. Tell her the next morning the fairy will have come and left a gift for her!

=) Good luck!

It'll take about 2 to three days, but you have to be strong mom. Throw all the bottles away in the garbage or dumpster outside. Now give a sippie cup of juice inside. Fill it half way so she's not overwhelmed by the amount. Give it to her. If she fusses for a bottle, just let her. Eventually, she will give in to the sippie cup. I have done this to my child and it worked. But beware, you will get a battle for about 2 to 3 days. Then all will be peaceful again. I promise, I would know.

Answer 4

WHAT?? She is two years old for God sakes! Take them to the dumpster and get rid of them. She will cry, throw a fit and act like she is dying! It WILL pass. How many teenagers you see still walking around with bottles in their mouth. That bottle is more for you than her. You don't want to hear a fit, so you let her have the bottle. I had my daughter pack up her bottles in a cute little bag and we went to Goodwill and gave them to all the new babies. Good luck!

Answer 5

my daughter was the same way. We started out with bottles only when it was night-night time or nap time, then only at night, and one day we just throw all the bottles away, that night was a nightmare we hardly slept but it was worth it, and after about a week we told her how proud we were and took her to the store to pick out some "big girl" cups, she still asked for it when she saw her younger brother or cousins with one but we would tell her that she was a big girl now and big girls drink from cups not bottles, it worked the same way for diapers and pacifier

Answer 6

When my cousin's son was nearly 3, he hadn't given up his bottle or binky, and there was a toy at the department store he really wanted. She contacted a checkout clerk there ahead of time to set up the deal, took him to the store to pay for the toy, and was told that it cost $XX.XX plus one bottle and one binky. She ponied up the cash but told him she was sorry that she didn't have a bottle or binky to pay for the rest of it with. He did agonize his little 3-year-old self over it for quite a while and almost put the toy back on the shelf, but in the end he paid for it. Later that night and for the next few days when he cried for the bottle or binky, she reminded him that he paid for his new beloved toy with it and there was no way to get it back. He clutched the new toy close to him and got over it all pretty quickly, all things considered. It seemed a bit mean at the time, but it worked, and she avoided having to cave in if the crying got too much and so on. There was no negotiating to be done, and he wasn't too young to realize it was something he had done himself and would just have to deal with.

Answer 7

Don't let your daughter take them out, be strong with her. Take all of her bottles and put them in a big bag, then bring them down to an actual dumpster somewhere. When your daughter asks where they were say the birdies took them, it worked on me. When your daughter starts to cry hold her tightly and say. "It's okay honey, they gave you a present back." And when she looks up at you all hopefully give her a sippy cup. "Birdies say that they want you to have a sippy cup now."

My sister had this problem and my grandmother sewed some black thread on the nipple. She told her it was a bug and my sister never sucked her bottle again.
