I have a 10 month old so I really don't know what to do with these issues, but I can tell you what I migght try. As far as the bottle...have you tried a sippy cup...if so what was the outcome? Maybe saying that the sippy cup is a "big boy cup". Maybe he would be willing to part?

As far as sleeping in his own bed I am not sure. I've had my daughter sleeping in her crib from the time we brought her home. I have been wondering though if I will have a problem with that as she transitions to a big girl bed. I am a watcher of "SuperNanny". I just love that show. The way she does it is to just do it. Put your little one in his bed and tell him it's night time. Do your normal routine. Bath, read a book, tell him you love him and that it is time to sleep in his "big boy bed". If he gets up, walk him back to his bed, say goodnight and wait to see what happens. If he continues to get out then just keep bringing him back. I mean this is a television show and of course everything looks so simple, but I am sure it will take some tough love and a good few days to a week to see any results.

Potty training...not sure really what to suggest. I know boys are different than girls. I have a friend that has a boy and what she did was make it fun. She had a sticker chart and everytime he would use the potty he would get a sticker. May be worth a shot.

Well good luck with all this. Wish I could offer some better suggestions to you.

Take care

The only thing that I might be able to help with is... with potty training boys it is usually easier to teach them to sit on the toilet backewards, and it always makes it more fun to have cheerios to aim at.   I am only speaking from my experience of being a nanny, we have not yet tried to potty my son as he is only a year.   I would have to agree with Sandy in that the super nanny idea seems the best for getting children to stay in their own bed.  Good luck, let us know what works for you please as I will need to be doing it soon enough.

Just a thought on the potty training, your son might not be ready.  I have heard that boys are much harder to train than girls.  That is not always the case, as my son was trained by 20 months, but most of the time, potty training takes place around 2 1/2.

As far as the sleeping, you could try putting him in his bed after he is asleep at first, and gradually move it up until he is fallinga sleep in his own bed.  My son has been in a crib and then big boy bed and never was in our bed other than in the morning and for night feedings as a baby.

I'm not really sure what to say about the bottle other than to do it cold turkey.  My son was off the bottle at 13 months, so I'm not really sure what to do with one that is still on a bottle at 22 months, especially seeing as how there is a new baby.

One suggestion I would make is to only try one thing at a time.  With a new baby it will make it much more difficult to do any of these right now, and doing all three at once is probably over the top. Try just one at first, maybe the bottle, then after that has been taken care of, move on to the bed.  I would leave potty training for last since your son is not really all that old right now.

I am in your shoes!!! LOL - I have a 2 1/2 yrs old and a 1 yrs.

Here is the story...Sebastian (2 1/2) has always been a good baby. Alwasy slept in his own bed and by 12 months moved to his own room. He was a happy camper...and so were my husband and I...then my second baby was born. Daniel arrived when Sebastian was 18 months old, and cried day and night for months in a row (not hrs. not days...months!). My husband and I were exhausted so Daniel stayed in our room long enough for Sebastian to notice that he was the only one sleeping on a separate bedroom, so he regressed at about 22 months to be exact.

We all slept in one bedroom for about 6 months (3 of which Sebastian stayed in our bed)...lol we tried everything...but something worked ...(sniff sniff happiness is back!) We bought a toddler bed and placed it next to our bed and we bought a bed set with Thomas the tank engine, suddently he was fine sleeping in his own bed again. Hurray!!! And to make things better he just moved back to his room to his twin bed 3 days ago!!! We are sooo happy. Of course we moved Daniel's crib to his room so he doesn't feel alone. So...the point is get him a bed set of a character that he loves.

As long as the bottle go...I tried but he wouldn't drink milk from a sippy so I left him with the bottle until he left it by himself only a few weeks ago. It didn't really bothered me so I didn't push.

Potty training? No, I havent' started yet. i was told to start the training until 2 1/2 - 3yrs old or when he would clue me he was ready...I think he is in the beggining stages of getting ready. Now when I change the diaper he says, "mommy kaki"... I just don't want to frustate him or myself...I believe he'll show me when ready to learn.

good luck!
