Evan has chewed his way through 4 of his bottle's nipples this week, so last night I decided that today would be our first day of just using sippy cups. He has been taking juice from a sippy cup for quite some time, but his soy milk has been a problem. Well, we lasted the whole day with just his sippy cups--1 1/2 cups juice, but only 1/3 cup soy milk. We finally caved in at bedtime. There was absolutely NO way that he was going to settle for the night without his bottle. For the first time in his little life, he sucked back the WHOLE thing! Then he was soon out cold!
Any ideas how I can get him to drink more soy milk during the day with his sippy cup? Also, for sometime down the road, how do you get a refluxer off of the bedtime bottle? Brandon was so easy to switch over, but I can tell that Evan will be a challenge. I really don't mind him having the bottle at night for now, though, if that's what he needs to feel comforted, relaxed and soothed.
