Sooner or later almost before all parents there is a problem – how to disaccustom the child to a small bottle. The Sosatelny reflex is very important in life of the kid, process of sucking calms and gives to confidence therefore he does not hurry to leave such important objects as a small bottle or a pacifier. There are several certain ways softly to disaccustom to a small bottle, without injuring at the same time mentality of the child.
It is better to disaccustom gradually. At first remove a bottle during the games, in the afternoon it should not catch sight to the child. On walk replace it with a convenient feeder or juice with a tubule. It is possible to pour usual water in a bottle – the child will compare it to sweet tea in a circle and will choose what is more tasty. If the pacifier is gnawed through, replace it with shorter and firm (with marking 0+ or 6+).
Each mom knows the child best of all therefore will be able to use its strong or weaknesses for the choice of a way of breaking from a bottle. For example, some children are quite fastidious and are afraid of insects. In that case it is possible to show it a small bottle with a fly on a nipple – he, of course, will ask it to wash, but the unpleasant impression all the same will remain and he will refuse it soon.
If the child likes to share toys, he likes other children or animals, try to play representation with solemn delivery of a small bottle to other kid. For example, it can be the tale of a kitten who lost a small bottle. In that case it is necessary to hide a bottle and any more never to get. Here it is important to press on good feelings of the kid that he felt sorry for a kitten more, than himself. The modest and impressionable child can be disaccustomed to a small bottle so: ask the unfamiliar man to lead with him a discussion. It can be just a couple of words that he already adult, the small bottle spoils teeth, etc. You at the same time have to listen carefully also and further more often remind of this conversation, tone full of respect. You should not press on the kid, forcing to refuse expensive subject. Sooner or later, most often in 2-3 years, the sosatelny reflex weakens, the child becomes more independent and begins to treat a small bottle scornfully, forgets about it. Your task is to define this moment, softly and resolutely to take away it and not to give any more.
