My five year old still has a bottle at bedtime and if he wakes in the night. What doesn't help is that his 3 year old brother has one as well so I will have to break them of the habit at the same time. 5 year old's first tooth is wobbly so it really is time to stop now. Have tried switching to water in bottles but we relapsed. Have tried bottle at storytime but they really need to be sucking away to fall asleep. I have the feeling that when the bottles aren't there they will cope, that they are only hanging on out of habit. Any ideas? I would like it to be a positive decision rather than a "throw bottles in the bin" move. Contrary to what you might think, the boys and I are all healthy, happy and well adjusted people! My 9 year old is really annoyed with the two of them though and I felt quite embarassed when 3 year old ran into the school playground with a bottle in his mouth this week.
