Rejection, IVIG

Bye, Bye bottle

Since Myleigh was 6 months old I had to stop nursing because I got pregnant with Makayla, so I had to switch her to the lovely bottle. She adored the bottle it was her comforter. She had to have it all the time with milk, it was so sweet to see her with a bottle it reminded me that she was still little and I have a hard time letting go of things. Well the time finally came where I decided it was time for her to really give it up, we've tried but I don't think she was ready and I wasn't ready to let that part of her littleness go. But I started taking her to the dentist and they told me she was getting black little spots on her teeth from the bottle and drinking milk. So that was the big indicator that it was time. I didn't want her to get bad teeth or get silver caps. So this time I allowed her to throw away her bottles and say good bye to them. I thought it was going to be a long tough rode ahead and even worse night time I was dreading. But much to my surprise the first night she did ask for her bottle and I just had to remind her that she threw them away and she was ok with it and came and snuggled me in bed. Ever since then she has done amazing no bottles. There are times were she has asked for one but we just keep reminding her that they got thrown away!! It is a bitter sweet. My baby isn't a baby anymore, she is my little 3 year old going on 16, sassy but sweet. I love her and her sweet tender heart!!
