Mark had a brilliant idea that it was time for Josie to stop having a bottle. She hardly ever eats food because she always wants a baba. We thought it might be about time to get her off of it, and the only way to go is cold turkey. She went to bed great last night, and slept for 12 hours straight. Today... I laid her down to take a nap without it and after some good long screaming, she finally fell asleep. She only slept for an hour though. It's gonna be a long few days!

Oh sad!! I totally feel for you right now! We took away Bostons binky last night, so he is nap-less and really onry!! They are so cute, they go through everything together :) Birth, binky and bottle rehab!
Ah, taking the bottle away. Never a fun task. Funny how much we use the bottle and binky more for us huh? All of my kids kept their binkys til they were 3. We had a bye bye binky party for all of them where we sent the binkys off on balloons and it worked great! Good luck! It may be a bit crazy the next few days, but she will be back to normal soon, I'm sure. Hey I also have your scentsys. I'll call you tomorrow!
Oh good luck Linds! That is a hard thing to do!
Don't feel bad if you give up. I should encourage you, but I am on Josie's side, give it to her, it will make her happy and stop crying. (Of course, I am not a good one to make a comment, my kids are way to old for everything.) Heck, I would have a little bottle of diet coke when I go to bed to, if I could get away with it. LOL! You are a great mom!
Hang in there. This is a tough one, especially when you're not getting any sleep. Just remember you're gonna have to do it at some point, why not now? I feel bad for both of you though, I know how much you like your naps:)
I'm embarrassed to say that Tyden still has a bottle and loves it. Tyler said we were going to stop giving it to him when he turned 2... well that was on Monday and we haven't stopped. We are just too lazy I guess, but we need to buckle down. Good luck to you too.
