busymommy1 posted:

have a 24 month year old who refuses to give up the bottle or use the potty. Ive tried telling him his bottle is broken and explaining to him that he broke it ( when he bites the niple off) and he just throws a fit. he wont drink milk from the cup. ive tried juices. When he asks for the bottle i say how about your cup and he throws a fit saying no, bottle. could really use some advice. Im going through nipple after nipple.. and the potty.. i explain to him when changing him that if hed use the potty mommy wouldnt have to change him. Ive tried telling him he will be a big boy like daddy and he just doesnt seem to care. He has peepeed in the potty but refuses to poopoo. ive caught him going in his diaper and tried to sit him on the potty but he latched on to me and started screaming.. i just dont know what else to do.. please help

think it's time to be a little firm with him, if he wants his milk bad enough, he will drink from a sippy cup.
