In a matter of 12 hours, Jeremy single handily made my baby grow up. I was dragging my feet because I guess I just didn't want to admit that I too was attached to his prized possession. Jeremy took away all of the bottles.
We were still giving him a bottle first thing in the morning and in the evening before bed. I came home last night and Jeremy said he warmed the milk up in a sippy cup and Holden took it like a champ, no bottle. This morning I got up with Holden and Jeremy handed him another warm sippy cup of milk and he again took it with no problem.
I'll have to say I'm a little sad about it. I know we needed to eliminate the bottles, they evoked a strong "gimmy gimmy" reaction from Holden even when he wasn't hungry. But I guess I was just as attached to holding my little baby in my arms while he had his bottle.
Oh well, I'm sure I will get over it. We can't go back now.

Yah, I think that's my crutch too! I wish Jeremy would be the one to make unilateral decisions for Cameron but unfortunately it hasn't happened yet. Perhaps I'll get luck and he'll take the lead on potty training?
You just have to find other cuddle times. I know that feeding is always a good bonding time. Now it will be a story time or just when he needs a mommy hug. Love and miss you all!
