Switching to sippy cups--an update!!
Well the switch to sippy cups at night has gone fantastically!! The boys now go to bed, almost every night around 7:40pm thanks to making the switch to sippy cups. They no longer have to wait for me to come home from work or anything else! Not only have they completely switched to sippy cups they no longer nurse at all at night. We made the switch around day 4 or 5 of starting sippy cups--I had been having horrible headaches and needed to be taking medication and be out an evening and they did fine so that was that. Now all we have to do is phase out the morning feeding...not sure when or how, but we'll get there. Today Ryan woke up so late that I just didn't offer it to him and he was fine, so we'll see where this leads us. I'm fine with weaning as long as they self wean, which is what Abigail did at 15 months so we're not that far behind... also even though Justin typically wakes up around 5, we're letting him cry and fall back asleep so with the hope that he can sleep long enough that it's a normal hour of the morning and he too can just eat and get a sippy cup in the morning, so we'll just have to wait and see!! This is all huge for us, because not only have the boys switched to sippy cups at night, they have been sleeping through the night as well, even with Justin cutting his two bottom molars--he's so far behind Ryan in teething but that's ok!! Good job boys!!
