I did it more because I was worried about causing cavities and less because it was "time". I thought it would be a nightmare because he loved his "bubba" so I purposefully waited until I would be home all week with him to make up for the inevitable lost sleep. But- he didn't care. AT ALL. As long as he had his sippy cup of Milk when asking for his Bubba he was happy as a clam! I too love to snuggle with him- and I still do. I confess to still rocking him to sleep every night and before all naps. But now, he sees books as the cue instead of the bottle. And the plus has been that I get SO MANY unprompted kisses as he's drifting off. Every so often he'll lift his head, plant one on my lips, then cuddle back up on my chest. It's perfect.Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675197616280434252noreply@blogger.com
