The End to the Bottle

Little baby in a very big bed

I am sad to announce that Natasha has freely weaned herself off the bottle. Yes, she is 6 months old. But she hates the bottle; in fact, she wants nothing to do with one. And I know I've posted about this issue before, but back then I was still able to squeeze one bottle into her per day, but that is not the case anymore. Even if she does take a bottle, she's make us a huge favour by drinking some 20ml and then shaking her head side-to-side. Arhh. I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it was!

Aren't babies supposed to be difficult in giving up the bottle habit? And shouldn't the weaning process begin until at least 9 months of age? Is our baby refusing to be a baby? The questions are endless, but looking on the bright side of things, I don't have to wash bottle anymore. Haha! That's the good thing about this whole Natasha madness. And since she cannot figure out her sippy cup yet, I was told to try a drinking straw with her, so maybe this weekend I will attempt that. But with my luck, and considering Natasha inherited a rich combination of Matthew and mine stubbornness, she would hate the straw as well. Hooray right, makes my life more interesting :p

I also want to wish my wonderful husband a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you Matthew, you are the best hubby a girl could ask for (aside from being incredibly annoying at times, that is)! Happy 26th Matthew, and when I grow up, I wanna be just like you!

happy birthday! wow he is younger than me! Wink as for the weaning part, avarayna dont really like the bottle but she loves the sippy cup.you can try the straw. i read that babies this age still have to drink a lot of milk...so good luck! but i agree that shaking head side to side must be really cute!

hey Aida, yeah you're right about drinking lots of milk... it sucks when you have to feed them and they refuse it with such determination...frustrating! Glad Avarayna likes the sippy cup ;)
