Eliminating a Bottle...What Fun!!!

Today is day one of beginning the process of eliminating bottles and so far so good. The hard part is starting a whole new schedule but it will be so worth with once ALL the bottles are gone. We were on 4 bottles a day (7,11,3 &7) and today we have moved to 3 bottles a day. We started with breakfast at 7am instead of a bottle and we made it to 8:30 before giving them their first bottle of the day. The emphasis is on solid foods instead of bottles. It does make me nervous as to whether or not they will get enough calcium since they have not fully mastered the sippy cup. And they prefer water in their cups over milk. I am just trying to give them plenty of calcium based foods at their meals to make up for the lack of milk (formula). In the end I know it will all work out but it's hard not worry about them:)

I started this post this morning so I can officially say that day 1 was a success and we are down to 3 bottles a day no going back! The kids did a great job today. I am amazed by how adaptable the kids are. On to day 2....
