I'm not sure if it's her bottle she's too attached to, or the milk itself, but she's going through far too much every day.
I know, it's my fault, but I need to fix it. She's never been a great eater and so a least I knew she was getting nutrition from the milk, but there are now days when she barely eats anything but begs for milk, one bottle after another.
I switched her to semi-skim or fully skimmed after she turned 2, btw. She does also drink water and occasionally watered down juice. But the milk's the thing...
Anyway, what can I do? I'm so sick of this now, she goes through far too many nappies for a child her age (potty training another issue, but one thing at a time!), most mornings her nappy is soaked through and I'm washing her bedclothes constantly. This is even when I change her before I go to bed at night.
Any advice on how to break her habit? I really can't face making her go cold turkey on it. Suggestions for weaning her off needed!
