going to be a LONG few weeks

I've decided all bottles are gone. I packed them up and put them away today. Formula is gone, water and milk only.

My 14 mo is fine with the sippy cup. Will drink milk for me if it is warmed - Mom gives only cold. Won't touch water, but is given mostly water at home. She'll be learning to drink cold milk and water here.

My 12 mo is throwing huge screaming fits when she sees the sippy cup. If I get the sippy cup with water in her mouth, she'll take a **** and spit it out and scream. She will learn to drink it or be very thirsty.

My 3 yo has graduated to regular cups and LOVES water. Mom says they drink mostly water and I believe it. Juice is obviously a special treat for her.

Sometimes cold turkey is necessary! Good luck!

I am sure everyone will be fine. In the end you will also be happy so win-win for everyone! happyface

I've already taken 4 Motrin for the screaming induced headache.

as I always tell the parents, it's always harder on us than it is on them....
