The Bottle is History

The Bottle is History

We are around two and a half weeks without the bottle here. Our little hadn’t really complained but is still refusing to drink milk out of her cups. Everything else is out of cups or her yogurt pouches. Still giving her smoothies as we find it is a great way to sneak the milk in without her turning it away. Since taking her off the bottle and not drinking milk, she has been drinking a lot more…

A week and a half, no bottle, no milk

A week and a half, no bottle, no milk

So today is almost a week and half since we took the bottle away from our little one. Cold turkey was our only option because weaning just wasn’t working. Not even sure if the cold turkey method is working. Since taking it away, she continues to refuse milk in anything and everything we give her. She is a stubborn little one which is a trait of both mom and dad so look out world. We continue…

A dad with no hair skills

A dad with no hair skills

So here I am with my daughter. I love everything about her and can pretty much do everything needed for her upkeep. Everything except her hair. If you notice if you go back through our blog, her hair is usually in her eyes. That’s all me. Truth be told, I used to have long hair in my late teens, early 20’s as I lived my rocker lifestyle. I like to think I had great hair. But the problem is I…

Namaste or Napaste?

Just a quick post because we found this pic of our little one hilarious. She was sitting on the floor and exhausted. She appeared to take go into a yoga pose and start meditating. Reality is she was dozing off. Maybe we find amusement in these things because she is our child. If it can make at least one person smile or chuckle then we will consider this post a success.

One week without her bottle

One week without her bottle

Today marks officially one week since we took our little ones bottles away. Apparently with it we also took away her milk as she refuses to drink from anything but. As mentioned in our previous post, she will drink everything else out of her cups, just not milk. It has been frustrating and at times in the first few days we were worried if this would affect her negatively. Worried even though our…

Day 5: No Bottle No Milk

Day 5: No Bottle No Milk

Well here we are on day 5 of no bottle for the little one. She is either extremely stubborn or was never really into milk to begin with. We have given her milk in everything imaginable at this point besides a bottle. She just refuses everything. What we have been doing is making smoothies with fruit and milk which she will drink. This is fine to ensure she is getting her dairy. Not so great…

Sorry Little One, No More Bottles

Sorry Little One, No More Bottles

At just over a year and a half, our little one has been pretty good about transitions such as the transition to purée foods then to solids. The doctor told us at this point it is important to get her off the bottle completely. Actually she told us that a few months ago and we tried to ween her off but was not successful. Problem isn’t our little one not wanting to drink out of a cup or from a…

Escape artist

So we have an escape artist who is getting more sophisticated with her each passing day. Not the first escape but it is definitely becoming more well thought out and calculated. It started a few months ago. We put her to bed and walked away as we watched her in the monitor. We noticed she was trying to climb up the corner of the crib but wasn’t having much success. All of the sudden she hulked…

Keeping a schedule? Not really

Keeping a schedule? Not really

So as much as we try to keep our little one on a schedule, it just doesn’t happen. Our little one must not be into planning and prefers spur of the moment. At one and a half years old, we feed her in the morning which isn’t an issue. It the rest of the day that is the issue. We try to put her down for her nap around 12 and 1. Problem is it seems she ramps up immediately and becomes a ball of…

A Soothie Smoothie

So what does one do when your little one is teething and doesn’t have an appetite? Well our go to is a smoothie consisting of mixed fruit, whole milk, fat free Greek yogurt, flax seed, chia seed and peanut butter (exclude peanut butter if you or your little one has a peanut allergy.) We throw all of these ingredients in our Vitamix 3500 Ascent, but any blender will do. We like the Vitamix for…
