Nearly 3 year old obsessed with her bottle of milk!

[Happyclappy20]

Trying to stop her wanting milk in a bottle, she asks for it all the time, including at night. She won't drink milk from a cup. Just started potty training and she wets herself loads and also often refuses her food. I tried to stop her recently but her tantruming was awful. Any ideas?

Its really hard with young ones but i found with my daughter the tantrums were unavoidable.If she learnt all she had to do was scream to get what she wanted she would not be the sweet girl she is today.

I would offer milk in a cup like bottle something similar to a teat and let her choose which one.Something like this with a soft spout to start

At this age offer at snack time and before bed ,say your a big girl now you dont need it all the time.She will throw tantrums and its hard ,with my daughter it was really hard to encore.But after time she soon learnt screaming got her nothing

As she got older i taught her if she is good all week she will be rewarded and let her choose a toy from the poundshop.I also taught her if she was bad there would be no tv time.I never took away things she earned though as this would stop her from trying to get the reward.

See what others suggest for tantrums but this had to be one of the hardest parts of raising my daughter

Yup sorry OP but you'll just have to learn to deal with the tantrums. If it's not the milk, it will be something else, best to deal with it now rather than in a few years time when she will be much more stubborn!

You've just got to sit through the tantrum. Every time you give in, she learns that screaming will get what she wants and it's worse the next time so don't give it. Just get through it.

Another one saying you’ve just got to ride the tantrums out! Dd often wants ridiculous things that she can’t have (this morning she wanted to slice her bagel with a bread knife -no) and will properly lose it. Just ignore, make sure they’re safe, and let them get on with it. Giving in just leads to a world of other issues as they get older!

Maybe leave the bottle out for the Easter Bunny?!
Explain babies don't get chocolate eggs!!

It she knows it’s still in the house then she will want it.

When we were weaning our DD off her bedtime milk (around 2yrs) we started watering it down. Each night increase the water, decrease the milk till eventually it's just water & then she may not want it? It worked for DD but she would take it in a sippy cup & switched from bottle to sippy cup easily.
