Hi all :)
I have an 18mo who refuses to feed himself his bottle (morning, before nap and before bed). Obviously it's fine as I can feed him still but he is starting at nursery soon and I would like him to be able to do it himself.
He is obviously capable enough as he feeds himself from his water bottle and food etc, but if it's milk he throws a paddy unless I feed him. Any tips on how I can get over this? I've tried putting it in front of him and refusing to give him it myself but it upsets him so much I end up giving him it.
I've also tried laying him down and getting his hands and putting them on the bottle but he hates it and pushes his hands away...
Any tips would be great :) xx
