649.1 | Try a Tupperware Sippy Cup. | BAGELS::RIOPELLE | | Wed Jan 23 1991 11:10 | 10 |
|
Try introducing him to the Tupperware sippy ups, show him how much
fun they are. Leave the cover off it once in a while and see what
happens, or leave the cover off and have a drink of juice or water
along with him. Once he sees you drinking from a cup he'll give it
a try. Its not easy getting them off bottles sometime. Our 4 year old
did it at 1 1/4, our two year old is about 75% there he follows big
brother, but he spends the other 25% following his 8 month old sister.

649.2 | Juli didn't miss the bottle! | CALS::JENSEN | | Wed Jan 23 1991 11:31 | 23 |
|
At Juli's 12-month checkup the Pedi asked "how well" she was doing with
training cups. We said "doing great, actually prefers them ... she's
been using them since about 9+ months" ... he said "great, now get rid
of the bottle ...". I was floored. AT 12 MONTHS!!!
Well, we encouraged the training cup, but didn't get rid of the bottle
until round about 14 months (just before Thanksgiving). Jim got fed up
about her bedtime fussy escapades & broke that habit in three nights ...
and the following weekend she flung her bottle and demanded the
training cup, at which time Jim willingly gave her the training cup and
then proceeded to collect ALL bottles (full, empty, dirty, clean ...),
put them in a bag and placed them on the curb for trash pickup!! That
was it ... no warning, no weaning, nothing!
More suprising was ... Juli NEVER missed it!!! Her babysitter's
daughter (4 months older) still has a bottle and Juli's not the least
bit interested (and wasn't even the day after the bottles 'went out').
Maybe her young age and preference for a cup was the difference?

649.3 | He drinks from cup too. | UCOUNT::STRASENBURGH | | Wed Jan 23 1991 12:02 | 7 |
| Eric does drink from a tupperwear cup all day long in between the three
bottles that I mentioned.
In the morning when I try to give him milk in a cup he throws it on the
floor, in bewteen having a screaming/crying fit.

649.4 | take control of the situation... | YIELD::BROOKE | | Wed Jan 23 1991 12:25 | 23 |
| Getting them off bottles is definitely MUCH easier when they are young,
and not yet as aware of their own power to control some of their
environment. I changed all three of mine over to "sippy" cups at 9
months with no problem. If they can hold a bottle, they can hold the
covered cups, so as long as they are going to do it themselves they
might as well have the cup.
However, now that you are well past that age, you must deal with HIS
desires. I would handle it the way I handle anything I think he should
not have a choice in: take away the bottle, offer the cup. If he
refuses the cup, then take it away and continue on to the next task of
the morning. As for throwing it on the floor, I wouldn't give him the
chance. You can tell if that is what he's planning...take it away
before it happens, tell him he just blew the morning drink, and walk
away. Offer it again in about 15 minutes (or when he decides to be a
human being again). I have found that the temper tantrums stop when
they become ineffective on Mom and Dad. Once it becomes obvious to him
that the bottle is not an option (which it still appears to be now), he
will probably find somthing else to drive you nuts!
Be careful, potty training follows much of the same principles!

649.5 | cold turkey for us | CHCLAT::HAGEN | Please send truffles! | Wed Jan 23 1991 13:18 | 8 |
| We took Matt off the bottle "cold turkey" at 15 months. We hid all of the
bottles and told him they were all gone. He threw a couple of fits when he
couldn't have a bottle, usually in the evening. He stopped using bottles at
daycare 9 mos. earlier and was just using them at home.
Anyways, the "fits" ceased in about 2 days, and we never looked back.

649.6 | varies by child | CSSE32::RANDALL | Pray for peace | Wed Jan 23 1991 13:45 | 19 |
| It's been my experience with my three kids that the migration to a
cup will proceed about in pace with language development. A child
who is still working on the fine muscle control in his or her
mouth area sometimes has trouble swallowing effectively and
squishes half the liquid back out -- very frustrating.
It also keeps pace with how fast the bottles break, get lost, or
otherwise vanish from circulation due to natural causes. David's
down to three physical bottles, from which he has usually two
drinks -- morning milk and afternoon juice. Sometimes water when
he's feeling fussy and ill. I figure in a couple of months he
won't even want that much.
Some kids hate sippy cups. Steven loved them for the little
trickly designs he could make from the contents, but he wouldn't
drink from them. David's not too fond of them. He's going pretty
much straight to the regular cup.

649.7 | Sure dows depend on the kid! | SANITY::ORTH | | Wed Jan 23 1991 15:00 | 38 |
| Joshua was also a "bottle monster", but when we tried to force him to
give them up (at about 13 mos.), he couldn't drink well from a cup yet
(he had *no* interest in learning either). Dr. said take bottle away,
he'll drink from a cup if he's thirsty. Well, josh had other ideas. Got
so dehydrated, almost needed hospitalization! We went back to the
bottle, despite the guilt trips our dr.s office laid heavily on us. He
gave them up gradually. We cut one out at a time. He gave them up for
good at about 22 mos.
Carrie gave them up with little fuss at about 18 mos., but was drinking
well from a cup. We just offered liquids in cups instead of bottles,
and she pretty well took it okay. Both she and Josh could ask for a
bottle at the age they gave them up, and that did complicate it....no
playing dumb on our part! But eventualy she stopped asking. We hid them
away, so she could not see them anymore.
Daniel gave his up at 14 mos. with not a problem at all. He used a
sippy great, and we just (cold turkey) gave him a cup one day instead
of the bottle. No fuss no muss! By the way, Daniel was not talking at
all at the time (I mean *nothing*!) and still isn't much, although he
now can ask for "yuice" meaning any drinkable substance. To a point I
agree with Bonnie that ability to talk and mouth control sufficient to
give up bottle are related, but not always! Daniel has an older bro.
and sis. to talk for him....so why should he bother?!?!?
If he's drinking well from a cup, make up your mind if you are really
serious about ditching the bottle....serious enough to stand a few days
of nasty behavior. If "yes", then hide those bottles, and *do not* use
them again! Offer a cup, if he throws a tantrum, calmly tell him he can
have it when he's ready, and offer it a bit later. He *will* use it if
he's thirsty enough. Our Josh's problem was he wasn't proficient at it,
("it" being cup drinking) and just wasn't ready to be, and that's why it
didn't work with him. Dont' kid yourself! If you weaken and give in,
even once, your job will be triply hard next time you try, so only
attempt with iron resolve!
And we wish you lots of luck, and maybe a good set of earplugs!

649.8 | | CFPA69::CHANG | | Wed Jan 23 1991 15:45 | 10 |
| For Eric, we dropped the evening and the noon ones around 1 year old.
We kept the morning one until he was 15 month. By then, he was
pretty good with the cup and really didn't need the bottle. We
then went "cold turkey". One morning, we offered him a cup
instead of a bottle and told him all the bottles were gone.
He seemed to care less. My suggestion is to drop one bottle at a
time. Maybe start with the evening one, then the noon one, finally
the morning one. Do whatever is most comfortable for you.

649.9 | Toast that Dentist! | SOLANA::WAHL_RO | | Wed Jan 23 1991 17:28 | 19 |
|
I have an amusing story about weaning from the bottle. I have a friend
who is a dentist. He insisted that our son should give up anything but
plain water in his bottle by 12 months. We followed his advice
literally and suffered like .0 noter is. We visted our dentist friend
at Christmas time, he and his wife now have 2 boys 1.5 and 3 yrs. THEY
BOTH WERE DRINKING MILK OUT OF BOTTLES! When I threatened him with
bodily harm, he mumbled something about how he changed his viewpoint
after having 2 kids in 18 months or something. Obviously it didn't
pacify me.
The ironic part about this story is that both boys were breastfed
until 10 and 11 months.
BTW, once we switched to boring water in his bottle, my son gave it
up pretty easily.

649.10 | Cold turkey | TPS::JOHNSON | | Wed Jan 23 1991 18:34 | 16 |
| Our pedi. also recommended that we wean Steven at 12 mos.
she also suggested that we just pack the bottles away instead
of taking them away 1 by 1.
We decided to wait til after the holidays, and after a
weekend of listening to him demanding "ba-ba" every
1/2 hour, we took him off cold turkey. He could have
cared less. He still asks for ba-ba, but excepts the
cup.
Maybe you could try just packing the bottles away and
if he gets thirsty enough, and is only offered a cup,
he'll have to accept them eventually.
Good luck!

649.11 | Milk from a bottle, juice/water from a cup | ALLVAX::CREAN | | Thu Jan 24 1991 07:34 | 20 |
| Anybody out there have a child that will drink some liquids from a cup
but insists on milk from the bottle ? Cory, 16 months, will drink
juice & water from his cup but absolutely refuses milk in the cup.
The other evening, he asked me for some milk. I said "okay, I'll get
you a cup of milk". He said "no, ba-ba".
He currently drinks two bottles of milk per day, a morning & an
evening. The evening bottle is usually just before bed-time and is
followed by teeth-brushing (actually, just chewing on the tooth-brush
while I try to "show" him where to brush).
My doctor hasn't pushed to get him off the bottle altogether. I would
definitely like to get him to drink milk from a cup.
- Terry
P.S. I've tried every brand of sippy cup & also tried giving him the
cup without the lid. He definitely thinks that a cup is for
juice/water.

649.12 | Update on the MONSTER! | UCOUNT::STRASENBURGH | | Thu Jan 24 1991 08:11 | 18 |
| This is a update to weaning Eric off the bottle. It is Thursday
morning, we started last Saturday. The evening bottle has been no
problem at all. The nap time bottle Saturday and Sunday were a problem,
but we lived through it. The morning bottle has been the problem,
Saturday and Sunday he was fusssy about wanting his bottle , Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday he became a "MONSTER", today Thursday he did'nt
fuss at all drank his milk from a sippy cup and ate cheerios while
watching Disney.
So maybe he is getting use to the idea of not having a bottle. Lets
hope!
Thank you for all your support, advice, and stories.
I know when number 2 gets here I will do things differently. I have
learned a lesson myself with this experience.

649.13 | 1 cold-turkey, 1 'weaner' | BCSE::WEIER | Patty, DTN 381-0877 | Thu Jan 24 1991 10:37 | 27 |
| re .11 When we were switching Jason over to a cup, he would not drink
milk from the cup, ONLY from the bottle. He eventually gave up the
bottle, but unfortunately, also gave up a lot of his milk intake as a
result of this. It may not have been the greatest thing to do, but
what we ended up doing was using a small orange juice glass, and told
him it was a special Milk Glass, and he seemed to accept that ok.
When Christopher was about 11 mos old, he was EXTREMELY frustrated with
his bottle, and could never get enough fast enough. After about 2 days
of 'he throws the bottle, we get it and try to feed him again', we gave
up, switched him over to a regular cup (he HATED the covers!), and
never looked back again.
Jason gave up his bottle pretty much cold-turkey, but every now and
then would ask for it again. After about a month of that, he was done.
I think it's their personalities. Christopher has made ALL of his
'changes' cold-turkey. Jason has always done this progress, regress,
progress routine. Christopher crawled for 2 mos, walked and never
crawled again. Jason crawled for a while, stood for a while, crawled,
walked a bit, crawled, walked a bit more, mixed the 2 for about a
month, and _then_ he was off. It's been a lot easier to deal with him
if you understand how he adjusts to changes.
For the 2nd one, start looking for signs to dispose of the bottle at
about a year (give or take a few mos). *GOOD LUCK*!!

| What is (almost) everyone's hurry? What is wrong with a toddler who finds
comfort in a bottle at certain times? It does no harm to teeth, unless used
for extended periods. It does no harm to mental, moral, or physical
development. It does not suggest irresponsible parenting. I can't see any
reason not to let the child make the decision on when to stop. Some do this
at a fairly early age, and quite abruptly; this was certainly the case in .2,
where it seems clear that Juli made the decision (for which Jim now wants the
credit!).
Some kids have a need for sucking that is stronger and more enduring than in
others; any parent can force them to give up bottles, but you may just end up
with other problems. I'm sure an important reason my boys gave up bottles
early (and on their own) was because they were allowed pacifiers. I'm sure
that extended pacifier use also kept them from becoming thumb suckers.

| re: .14
I just had this funny feeling that there would be a note from Bruce that would
say "What's the rush?". ;^)
Some of the notes haved said that their pedi suggested getting rid of the
bottle. Does anyone know _why_ they suggested it? I guess I have the same
question Bruce does.
We continued to use "sippy cups" for a long time. Our son is somewhat
careless about knocking cups over, so if he were going to drink in the family
room, we would insist on a sippy cup (the Tupperware kind). Since it was not
only his own cup that he knocked over, we also used them for our daughter,
with the result being that she still used "sippy cups" when she was eight or
nine. She didn't care, and it didn't seem to do any harm. They both use
regular cups now.

649.16 | "What's the rush?" II, a me-too note | MINAR::BISHOP | | Thu Jan 24 1991 13:50 | 17 |
| I'll second the "why rush?" from Bruce: bottles don't drip as much
when dropped, so you can use them in the car more easily, and bottles
don't drip when packed, so you can take them places. Further, they
hold more, and if you turn them upside down, they don't drip a steady
stream of liquid.
My son is 15 months. He drinks from a sippy-cup most of the time, but
he gets a bottle of juice to drink in the car on the way home from
day-care, and a bottle of milk when he's feeling sick or tired (one or
two nights a week). It doesn't bother me that he still uses a bottle
now and then, and I'm kind of puzzled that it would bother other people
that a 12 month old baby still wanted a bottle.
I get the impression that many people are worried that their child will
miss a developmental milestone--is this it?

649.17 | | FDCV07::HSCOTT | Lynn Hanley-Scott | Thu Jan 24 1991 14:29 | 21 |
| Well, I'll jump in and explain why my family doctor recommended moving
off the bottle by 1 year - she said that up til that time, there is
indeed a need for sucking. After that time, kids start to believe that
the bottle is theirs, not yours, or not simply a device for drinking,
and the weaning process becomes more of a power struggle than anything
else.
We introduced a cup at 8-9 months - the famous Magmag that I mention in
every bottle/cup note in here :-). By 12 months, Ryan only used the
screw on nipple for morning feedings - the rest were all sippy.
Shortly after he was accidently given a sippy for breakfast, didn't
think twice about drinking it anyway, and never saw a nipple again.
Like Bruce's boys, though, perhaps Ryan gave the bottle/nipple up
easily since he had his pacifier for sucking comfort.
We definitely noticed a decrease in liquid intake when he went to a
cup, and for a while I frantically offered a sip every time he passed
by me. As I became less obsessed about his intake, he began to drink
more :-). We also found that drinking with a straw was pure
fascination for Ryan and still is, and he'll drink a gallon with it!

Indeed. I wonder why this is such a critical matter that a child should
not have a choice in it.

649.19 | Why NOT get rid of it? | BCSE::WEIER | Patty, DTN 381-0877 | Thu Jan 24 1991 15:05 | 9 |
| Okay - my kids had pacifiers also. Jason (almost 3) still does, and
probably will for a little while longer. Christopher gave his up
pretty willingly at 3. We're going to try the same for Jason.
As I said, Christopher was frustrated with his bottle, but the reason I
was happy to get rid of them was just for the added work. Instead of
spending oodles of time washing bottles/nipples etc, I could spend that
time with them. No one seemed any the worse for it, so why KEEP them
in a bottle?
|
649.20 | not a big deal | CSSE32::RANDALL | Pray for peace | Thu Jan 24 1991 15:19 | 15 |
| I remember spending hours carefully scrubbing and sterilizing
Kat's feeding equipment, and then watching her share her bottle
with the dog . . . By the time the kid's over a year old, you
don't need to do anything special with the bottles and nipples.
We just throw them in the sink or dishwasher with everything else.
So it isn't any more work for anybody.
It doesn't seem like a subject that really deserves much debate.
I prefer to let my kids set the pace, but if it were really
causing more work for somebody, then stopping it would be
reasonable. It's not going to traumatize the kid to give it up,
and it's not likely to keep her out of Harvard if she's still
taking a morning bottle at 23 months :)

.0 and her son _did_ seem the worse for it, and spending time with a "monster,
having fits, throwing everything, won't eat" doesn't exactly sound to me like

649.22 | Two Babies to Wean | BPOV04::D_PAGET | | Thu Jan 24 1991 23:24 | 26 |
| My daughter, now 3 1/2, had her last bottle at 7 months. We introduced
the cup, as a play-thing, at 4 months, and once she learned to put the
sippy part in her mouth, we started putting liquids (water, juice) in
the cup. At 7 months, she either had juice from a sippy cup or was
breast-fed. When I weaned her (onto formula) it was served in a cup.
Unfortunately, with my twins, it was not as easy introducing the cup.
We just didn't have time to work with them on it. Now I find that one
of them will drink from the cup, whereas the other likes to make the
cup drip and then play "connect the dots". We've been very lax about
the cup, until now.
Over the last week, they (now 11 1/2 months) have both lost interest in
their bottles/milk, dropping from 4 sucked-dry bottles/day to 3
barely-finished ones. So, I've decided that at each meal, I'll give
them their cups with formula. So far, as I said above, one drinks, the
other plays. Tonight, they both yelled for their bottles about an hour
after dinner.
I'm going to persevere, as *I* want them off bottles. I sterilize
nipples (I know you don't have to, but with two babies, I feel better
about having some things clean). I prepare 16 bottles every two days!!
Once they're on whole milk (when we run out of formula or in two weeks
at their birthday, whichever comes sooner), cups will save me
tremendous amounts of time that I can give to the babies or to my
ever-patient daughter.
|
649.23 | Use your instincts! | HYSTER::DELISLE | | Fri Jan 25 1991 15:11 | 31 |
| And the bottle/cup controversy rages on!!
My experience -
With my twins I gradually moved them from bottle to cup at about
18months of age. First by giving them cups with meals, just like mommy
and daddy, but bottles in between. Then gradually phasing out the
between meal bottles to cups. But they are pretty easy going babies,
didn't make a great fuss.
Number three child was another matter. He formed attachments to
things, namely his bottle and his blanket. He was 3 years old before I
finally got him totally off the bottle (and he has the teeth to prove
it). Fussing, crying, not sleeping, carrying on - what a nightmare.
He's 4 1/2 now.
With my youngest I was determined this would not happen again. At
about 12 months I began introducing the cup to him. Again, cup at
mealtimes, bottle in between when he wanted somethnig to drink. And
gradually begin offering the cup instead of the bottle in between. At
17 months now he gets a bottle every two days or so, basically if I
need to calm him down, or if I know that is what he needs. I'm sure in
a few more months the bottles will be a memory.
I agree with a noter that a lot of this is the child's personality. A
lot of it is WHEN you begin weaning the child off the bottle too. I
believe there are optimum times, and if you sieze the moment you tend
toward success. If you don't sieze the moment, it passes you by and
the bottle habit becomes more firmly entrenched. You have to learn to
recognize the moment!

649.24 | the reason we got from our pedi... | CRONIC::ORTH | | Fri Jan 25 1991 23:53 | 20 |
| Bruce,
I don't know why most pedi's tell moms and dads to wean by 12 mos., but
I know ours (with our first, Josh) told us it was because, "you'll nver
get him toilet trained when he's on a bottle". Sturck us as bizaree
because at 12 mos. we never considered beginning toilet training! But,.
being first time parents, we dutifully did as we were told, and really
regretted it! We didn't with the next two...just sort of watched for
when they were both fully competent in cup drinking, and getting that
sort of "don't care if I do or I don't" have it feeling about their
bottles. For what it's worth, al our kids were heavily into pacifiers.
Josh gave his up at around two, because we simply couldn't find it one
nite, and he apparently could'nt care less! Carrie simply asked for it
less and less till she never asked agian. Daniel still uses it at
sleeptimes or when he's sick, and he's 21 mos. He'll give it up when
he's ready.
For what it's worth, Josh did get off bottles entirely by age 2, and
never toilet trained till 3.5! So much for *that* connection!

| My daughter's pedi is not concerned about her "getting off the bottle",
only that she knows how to use a cup, which she does. I know she
prefers to drink from a cup (she's almost 16 months) but there are
times when I would prefer her to have a bottle. We get up very
early during the weekdays (I work 7 - 3:30) and she has breakfast
at her sitter's house, but I give her a bottle of milk for the
drive to the sitter's. A cup would not be feasible in the car.
This is really the only time she drinks from a bottle, but even if
it wasn't, I wouldn't be concerned. I agree with Bruce, what's the
rush? Kids give up bottles when they're ready.

649.26 | Another pedi's opinion | NOVA::WASSERMAN | Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863 | Mon Jan 28 1991 09:39 | 11 |
| At Marc's 15 month checkup, the pedi asked if he was still using
bottles, and I (rather sheepishly) replied "well, yes", but the pedi
thought it was fine. Marc drinks very well from a regular cup, but
seems to really get some comfort out of having a morning and
before-bedtime bottle. The pedi mentioned that if he was still
drinking from a bottle by age 2, that we would start trying to nudge
him off them (probably a teeth issue). He _did_ mention, though, that
sleeping with a pacifier wasn't the best idea because the length of
time the pacifier is in his mouth could cause some problems with his
upper palate and teeth. He suggested having a goodbye pacifier ceremony
and trying to get Marc atttached to some other cuddly object.

I don't have any kids 'yet' but I like the method my sister
used from advice from her pedi. Her doctor told her it is
a more humane method than 'cold turkey'
She diluted the bottle with water. Every week added more water and
less milk. Only, his cup had real milk. Eventually, he decided
the bottle didn't 'taste' as good so he never missed it.

| I just went through (Hopefully we are through!) an interesting bottle
weaning experience with my daughter. Maybe this happens with other
children as well. Justine will be two on Saturday. She was breastfed
until 18 months. After that she really started using a bottle at home.
SHe really didn't use them at the sitter's which was good. I left the
bottles go at home because she really liked them and I didn't see the
harm. Well recently she started to ask for "apple juice baba" or "milk
baba". I was really worried that I did the wrong thing in letting
her keep them. So this weekend I just packed the last of the bottles
away. When she asked for a bottle I just gave her a sippy cup. And I
got no complaints. Anybody else have it this easy with a 2 year old?
Of course we still have the pacifier. And for now we will still let her
have it but we have been working on limiting the times.

had the bottle in the morning and at night. We had been giving him the
cup all through the day, so it was very easy to cut out the morning and
evening bottle. He calls the cup a baba. He also still has a
pacifier. (That will be the doozy)
