The child grows, but many kids give up infantile habits very reluctantly. And one of the main objects to which it is difficult to disaccustom the child is a small bottle, especially for the night. That process of breaking from it took place as it is possible more without serious consequences, everything needs to be done in due time and gradually.
Instruction
1. Already from six months it is possible to give to the child to try to drink from a mug or a special children's feeder. Give it from a cup not only tea or juice, but also milk. Usually in nine-twelve months the kid has all necessary skills to drink from it. At this time it is also necessary to disaccustom them to a small bottle. In half a year children will become more stubborn therefore parting will happen to a favourite subject much more painfully.
2. It is necessary to disaccustom the child to a small bottle at the age of 1.2 up to 1.5 years, using a method of gradual transition. At first stop to give it a small bottle in the afternoon, and then gradually try to give to drink to him from a cup and evening milk. It is possible to dilute milk in a small bottle, and from a cup to give integral, undiluted. Then the child quickly will understand that in a cup drink is much more tasty.
3. After one and a half years try to interest the kid in a cup. Suggest it to choose from what he will drink tonight. It is possible to decorate together with it it or to suggest it to choose independently this subject in shop.
4. It is difficult for children who already were two years old to leave a bottle, they will not suit a method of gradual transition any more, here it is necessary simply "to cut the ends". Define day when you take away from the child a bottle once and for all. Tell it that it will not be soon because he already grew up. Every day within a week remind the kid of the forthcoming event, and in due time just remove all bottles from the house and report that they do not exist any more.
5. Think up a reward for the kid if he raskapriznichatsya, without having received in the evening a habitual bottle. Surely you hold nearby a cup with juice or compote that it was easier to calm the child. Offer him replacement. Perhaps, you are waited by several not too pleasant evenings, but to regret the child and to return him a bottle in this situation inadmissibly. That such temptation at you did not arise, better and really to throw out all small bottles.
