Our baby goal for February was to wean Brinleigh off of her sippy cups of warm milk before nap time and bedtime. We chose to eliminate the nap time sippy first. Since we give her a cup of milk with her lunch and put her down for a nap right after, it was super easy and I don't even think she noticed. After a couple weeks we decided to stop the bedtime sippy. We started giving her cold milk instead of warm milk and she quickly got to the point where she was only drinking a little bit. Then we stopped giving her any sippy cup at all. It was surprisingly much easier than I was anticipating. Although, I'm not sure why I was so surprised, she's been such an easy baby, especially with the weaning of things.
Our goal for March is to make reading a book part of Brinleigh's bed time routine. We will read one or two books every night before putting her into her crib. It gives us that one on one cuddle time that we had when we gave her a sippy before bedtime and it's something that lets her know she is getting ready to go to sleep for the night.
I posted our current favorite sippy cups and books below.
