C is for Cup... not for now

After 5 days of the "offer cup, push away with pudgy hand" dance, I decided I'd give it a rest and take up the bottle weaning challenge a few weeks later. Did I start too late? After all, babies are creatures of habit, at least where minibeanie is concerned. And the more entrenched a habit/thingy is in a baby's life, the more resistance he's going to put up to change.

Well, at least I got him to accept cow's milk without much ado. In fact, he is totally impartial to it. In fact, some days when I didn't have formula milk ready, I'd just pour milk from our carton. So, that's a relief :)

Speaking of which, weaning the tutti (Finnish for pacifier) isn't something I'm looking forward to at all. Currently, he needs it to fall asleep and I'm not ready to go without sleep for a week :P Hence, the current strategy is to wait until he's 2 or 3 or at least until he knows baby pandas. The game plan is to bring him to the zoo/panda breeding center and say, "look, the baby panda needs your tutti & we will give your tutti to the panda, ok?..." Then a few days later, he'll receive a thank-you card from the baby panda ;) So there.
