Quitting Cold Turkey

Pin It One of the milestones I was definitely not looking forward to was weaning Maia off her bottles.  I bought a variety of sippy cups, in hopes that she would eventually like one and stick with it.  I expected weeks of tears (both hers and mine!) and an ongoing battle.

We tried a few times but had issues with the thickened formula.  She was frustrated because she couldn't get any out of the small sippy holes.  I don't blame her!!  I hate when my milkshake is too thick for the straw!!

One morning I decided not to use any more cereal.  We have Thick-It, a thickener that makes the liquid thick but not chunky the way the cereal does.  I filled her sippy cup instead of her bottle when I heard her stirring in her crib and then added the Thick-It.  I brought her down for breakfast and well, I think the photos say it all!!

That was it!  No more bottles!  If I had known it was going to be that easy, I would have done it a long time ago!  Now the bottles are in storage and our little Bee is on her way to being a big kid! Pin It
