Being the mother of 9 kids ranging from ages 24 years to 24 months.... I VOTE FOR SLEEP! I tried to get my two youngest to stop the bottle and they were up all night.... so I just gave in and opted for sleep. They get a water bottle to sleep with. My 3 year old gave it up willingly after I got him a toddler bed. I told him, no bottles in toddler beds... that they were for big boys only. I am going to do the same with my 24 month old soon. But for now.... she still has a bottle (for comfort) at night. Also, one note, none of my children ever took a pacifier. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it or not. They just needed extra time to give up the bottle. Good luck... and don't stress too much over this. She is your baby... let her be a little while longer. :) |
