Bye-Bye Bottle.....Hello Sippy Cup & Whole Milk

Madelyn had her 1 year pediatrician visit on Monday, March 22nd so the week before the visit we started introducing whole milk. Our thought process was we would start her on it before her appointment that way if we were having any problems we could discuss them with the pediatrician. Madelyn was definitely hesitant with the whole milk but it only took one day and us figuring out she didn't like it freezing cold and she had forgotten all about the formula :) I talked with a lot of my girlfriends and decided that we were going to try cold turkey first and then if that didn't work go to plan B but cold turkey worked!!! YEAH

Madelyn's appointment went great and she was on track and passed all the little tests the pediatrician did with flying colors. She got a lot of shots and was not happy but as soon as I gave her a "Mommy hug" she calmed down :) The doctor told us that we needed to say bye-bye to the bottle and give her the milk in a sippy cup. So the next day we cut all the bottles except for the night time bottle and on Wednesday we cut the night time bottle. So on Wednesday, March 24th Madelyn said goodbye to bottles.
