when we switched from formula to milk i also switched from bottles to sippy... she hardly noticed because i followed the same routine we used with bottles and at 12 months when we did the switch she was only getting bottles first thing in the morning or right before sleepy time. she is 21 months and still sits on my lap before bedtime and drinks a cup of milk. quality cuddle time!

when i first gave my sona sippy he didnt care.. he takes anything with outcaring. He doesnt have any attachments. Maybe hes easy going??

pretty much tossed the bottle at a year old especailly since he never used it to go to sleep. but be warned, my son wanted nothing to do with milk then, he refused to drink it from the sippy. took almost a year to get him to drink it again and even then, he would only drink strawberry milk of all things. it was a pain.

I started Sarah with her cup at 6 months. She uses it during lunchtime. I have increased a little in the last 2 weeks. I am going to take her bottle away completely at 8 months. She doesn`t get a night feeding anymore so I figured it`s time. :)

It might of been mean but when my daughter turned 1 we threw away her bottles. I would hand it to her and she threw it in the garbage so it was kinda a game lol. I started having her use a sippy cup around 9-10 months though, so she was familiar with them. I also never put her to bed with a bottle that would of probably made it a even harder to ween her off.

  1. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  2. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  3. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  4. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  5. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  6. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  7. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  8. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  9. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  10. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
