Present requests? What has your child or children asked for presents?
How old are you with your first child?
if the dad of your child doubt's your child should he be at appointments and the birth?

I threw my daughter's bottles away and bought the NUK sippy cups with the soft nipple for maybe a month and a half. After she got use to that I went and bought tommee tippee sippy cups that doesn't have a nipple just a hard top. It looks like this. She has been using tommee tippee for 3 months now and loves them

My son uses The First Years sippy cup. Its spill proof. The way I got him to get off the bottle was leave water in his cup and just keep offering it. He would refuse and I would just let him cry. One day he ended up just taking it cause he had no other choice.

@selenaramirez1120, I still let my son have his sippy cup at nap. I give him the softer top ones (the nuk ones) all the time now during he day, so at nap time when I lay him down if he's fighting sleep, I just give him the sippy cup and he usually falls asleep easier. :)
If he has a dry but, has his sippy cup, and doesn't need anything but is crying...I have to just keep myself busy to distract myself. Cause I know he just wants to get up but he NEEDS a nap (momma needs him to take one too haha). So I just let him cry it out (or sometimes he just plays in his crib) until he falls asleep. I just listen for his cries and make sure he's not hurting or anything ya know?
It gets easier. 😊

Ok, crazy! I was googling some because I decided to go to the store and I took a screenshot of that NUK sippy cup. It looks perfect to transition him. Thanks girl! Any tips on actually doing it for you? Like I feel like it's going to be harder for me then for him. He's used to sippy cups but he's used to his bottle when it's time for a nap. How do I handle the crying when he's wants the bottle and not the sippy?😩😩 @nlecureux,

I use the Nuk sippy cup bottles to get him used to the the sippy cup idea. They are leak proof and have a softer nipple. Then I switched to the Gerber hard top sippy cup. (Here are pictures: the nuk is the turtle one on the left and the Gerber is in the right)
