[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 332749, member: 1991"] Compromise is often the way to go with weaning off. The big problem is if he won't drink out of a cup at all, even during the day. Maybe you could compromise that the only way he can have a bottle is like babies do, while being held in your arms. When he gets down off your lap, the bottle goes away. But in the meantime - he can always have a sippy cup. Or perhaps a "no bottle in public" rule. We weaned our kids off dummies by putting the dummy under the child's pillow and say, "It's only for bedtime. If you feel you need it then you may come into your room, sit on your bed and use it. But when you are ready to go back outside, the dummy goes back under your pillow so you can find it at bedtime." Some comfort props - they can hang around permanently. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is 23 and married; still sleeps with the same teddy bear she had as a baby. It's been cute - sometimes if her husband is sleeping in, he will be cuddling the bear! Marg [/QUOTE]
