Anti-Sippy, Can It Be True?!

Day 2 & 3




Night two went a little bit worse than the night before... More crying... Grumpy... He slept in our bed for part of the night and tried to push me out of bed & take my pillow. brat
This morning he willingly drank from his cup with the straw. He asked for a sippy once in the afternoon & he actually took a nap after taking a drive. He woke up very grumpy from the nap. I'm going to point the finger at lack of sleep. Poor kid. 
Anyway, to sum up the day; fairly well but there was a LOT of whining. 


Night three he hardly woke up for a sippy. When he did wake up he just took a sip of water and went back to sleep. So the nights are getting better. YAY! He ate breakfast without the mention of a sippy. Rich did slip and mention a sippy and Amir honed into it right away but when we told him we don't have sippy cups he was fine with it and just went on with life. Later however, he was watching Blues Clues and whined/cried for a good thirty minutes for a sippy cup. He was very tired. The rest of the day, no more problems!


Can It Be True?!

Yes I do believe that we have been successful in his sippy detachment. He still occasionally asks for a sippy cup but then realizes what he said and says to himself, "oh, no more sippy's". Now he just asks for a drink.. His water bottle, cups, cups with a straw & juice boxes.

I cannot believe this day has come! Now if he would just wear underwear and go pee on the potty all the time......

Anti-Sippy, Day 1

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!
