Fact: My child has a serious addiction to sippy cups. He sleeps with them, has to have one in the car.. He cannot fall asleep without one. He also wakes up in the middle of the night for more liquid in the sippy cup and won't go to sleep until he has more. We finally decided to wean him from the sippy cup addiction...
Day 1
We started Tuesday- April 27, 2010. That was the last day he will have a sippy cup ever again. That night, he fell asleep without one. He whined for about an hour for a sippy but we did not give in.
He woke up several times throughout the night asking, crying & whining for a sippy cup. About five am is when his crying started getting really bad. But he woke up around normal time and was okay until about noon, when he started getting really tired and wanted to take a nap. But it is now the end of day one and he is doing good with just a cup with a lid and straw. All of the sippy cups have been put into storage. We'll see how tonight goes with no sippy. Wish me luck!
