Now that Ajax is a year and his party is behind us I’ve stuck to my word and we did away with the bottles. That being said, it’s been a slightly stressful day. I’m trying to transition Ajax so that he takes the majority of his milk during mealtime from a sippy cup and doesn’t rely on a whole 6-8 oz bottle for each nap (like he’s grown accustomed to). To help ease the transition, I did give him a sippy cup during nap time, but it just wasn’t his bottle and boy was he mad. I mean throwing the cup, screaming at the top of his lungs mad. The screaming, however, didn’t last as long as I thought it would and he ended up calming down with his pacifier (lesser of two evils). We also need to start working on this screaming thing, which he finds hilarious, and this throwing… but he’s a boy so that may never go away.
We’ve also given up formula completely and he is now only taking whole milk. We’ve also given up all purees, he only gets applesauce (because he likes it). So overall, our little guy is growing up.
