Bottle braking

[brittney16]

Ok so my son is going to be about 17 months in january and i plan on bottle braking him january 1st. Im looking for some ideas to get to help with the bottle braking. The only difficult thing is that my daughter is still on a bottle so any ideas would be great.

Get the child involved and throw out his bottles.  If your daughter is turning one she should be going off bottles too.   You could do both children at once.  The secret is have NO bottles in the house. Let them be a part of throwing them away and seeing them go bye bye.   And do throw them away.  Then you won't be tempted to give them one because there won't be one in the house.  Offer sippy cups .  If either doesn't want the sippy at that time, put it in the fridge and offer it to them later on.

Oh I see your daughter is only 4 months.  The above won't work, huh?  LOL

Ok but do try to apply a separation of her bottles vs. his bottles for a month.   Don't let him use her bottles.  Right before Christmas have him 'give' his bottles to Santa Claus for another baby.  Make him a part of the process.....and just stand firm and don't give him a bottle anymore after you send off his bottles to Santa.

well thank you the giving the bottles to santa is a great idea! I already have her and his bottles he dont use hers and she dont uses his. He deff knows which is his and which is hers. I just dont want to get rid of all his bottles and then he sees hers and hes going to want his you know what i mean.
