Sunday Morning.
It's been a regular occasion that we spent our holiday at my parents' home. So around 10am after church, we pack our bag and make my daughter ready to go. One plan in mind that I want to ease her addiction on milk bottle away since she will be 3 years old soon. I think that will need courage from us as her parents to give her a chance, that's from what I felt. I think I want to share this with young parents who had this experience.
Here is what i did. I changed half part of her ordinary milk with an organic soybean milk that I consumed. When she refused to finished drinking it, I gave her an instant milk with straw. I told her maybe her daily milk changed its flavor into some unpleasant one. First problem i face was when she wanted to take a nap around 12pm. She had never missed her bottle when getting off to sleep. She was whining for her bottle so I made that soybean milk, again she refused it. Finally she was felt a sleep without that. That was our first success.
Those afternoon times give us strengh and confidence to get through the first whole day without bottle. We don't encounter much problem at night when she went to bed, I think she had this thought in her mind "Instant milk is not bad at all". It's been a week since she had her last bottle, and honestly we felt like winning a big triumph. It brought joy to our life since we have plan to send her to kindergarten next year. So from what I saw, she's ready for school.
Good job big girl, you've done such an impressive 'adult' behaviour although you're not yet 3 years old, that's what mommy thought.
