I honestly just need to rant a little bit. If you have advice then perfect, but please no judgement. My husband and I are currently trying to wean my 2.5 year old son from his night bottle. I believe we are on night 4 or so and my son still complains and cries for his bottle. We have been trying to put him to bed since 9 and he just fell asleep (it’s currently 11:40). We both work and our son goes to preschool so this has definitely taken a toll and we are all tired. I know he wasn’t suppose to have his bottle this long and trust me I tried. He’s my first and only child so far, however when I first attempted to take away the bottle we lived with my in laws and they fought me so much on it that I just could not keep up. Finally we’ve lived alone for a while and have attempted to wean off bottle again. The steps we are planning to do are: instead of bottle give him more of a sippy bottle at night. In the sippy we dilute his milk and eventually have it be just water. Once it’s completely water we hope he will loose interest and leave the sippy and bottle all together.

please let me know if you have any advice or words of encouragement. i would love to try for a second baby sometime next year but i also want to have a couple of months of good sleep.

This is definitely lesson learned and my husband and I are on the same page of not letting his parents persuade us any longer.
