How did u guys get your baby off the bottle? My son needs a bottle at night to fall asleep and one more during the night. Any tips on how I could start ending the habit? He’s almost 11 months old but definitely want to start trying before it gets too bad to where he won’t break it. He does have a sippy cup but I’ve only ever put watered down Gerber juice in it. Could I just put milk in it and get rid of his bottle completely???

We just switched all his bottles to cups. It took two months but he was off a bottle at 13m. Maybe try switching the formula to water at night? He may stop on his own after a few days, or he may keep with water at night. We keep a cup of water in his crib at night if he wakes up thirsty.

That's how we did it. I was super late with that transition though, my daughter was 2 when we stopped the bottle. I do believe they're supposed to stay on breast milk or formula till 12mo at least though. But giving him a sippy with bm/formula is fine just as long as he's still getting his nutrients.

Are you brushing his teeth before he sleeps? A bottle of juice or milk in bed will rot his teeth.

When I night weaned I would rock them with the bottle, then clean their mouths while sitting, then rock them to sleep.

He puts the ac on last night while we are sleeping then after a while I get up freezing and almost peeing on myself. I pee and cover with the blanket. Then he gets up and checks baby diaper which is very full since he put the ac on and tries to change it ofcourse baby starts to cry he is too slow and woke baby up. She already has a cough and I put the humidifier on before bed for baby. She starts coughing so I go run into the kitchen to get her some water without my glasses I'm blind. I bring the water to baby and the dad is holding her mad and says that I touched the bottle and not to give it to baby I'm so confused what do you mean he tells me to go back to sleep really mad and says he doesnt know why I had a baby when I'm irresponsible so I get unsleepy from his stupid comment and start yelling at him for first putting the ac on to make baby pee extra because she was cold then not getting her a bottle first before waking her up to change her diaper super slow to make her wake up and cry. He still think he is right and this morning was rude to me .wtf.....

So my doctor says I have to start putting the baby in his crib at night and letting him cry it out when he wakes for a bottle. She says he should be sleeping 10-12 hours at a time by now (he only sleeps about 2-3 hours before he wakes wanting a bottle or pacifier). She swears if we do this it won't take more than 3 nights for him to adjust and start sleeping better. She says that he should only get 1-2 naps a day too and we should lay him down at night as soon as he starts showing signs of being sleepy like rubbing his eyes, not waiting until he's exhausted. - I just don't know if I can do it, letting him cry at night.. I just don't know. Has anyone else done this?

How would you guys feel if your husband drank every night between 6 and 12 beers with children in the house. But the only time he drinks is after 7. Sometimes if he works his night job on the beach doing the tractor he comes home at midnight and starts drinking 10 beers. He doesn't get up in the morning to help with kids and is passed out on couch???? Oh and instead of pissing in a toilet when he's drinking he pisses in and old formula bottle or Gatorade bottle then pours it down the sink. But he says he not a drunk he's a good father and provides for his family. Ok but then that makes him a functioning alcoholic right? And his excuse will be he works a lot that's why he will not get up and help in the morning when he has off. No it's because you have a hang over and we're up till 3 drinking. I just don't get it. And if I say anything he gets all defensive and asks why am I starting with him. Am I wrong here is this normal and ok for him to do? He thinks it is. Oh and he has been telling me since I've been with him (almost 6 years) that he is gonna cut back and take nights off. I'm still waiting to see that happen
