So lot of mothers will tell you that CIO (cry it out) works but is heartbreaking at first. So once we do it and our babies are going to bed without that fight and are sleeping through the night we don't ever want to do it again. Well we got to do it again last night.
In the hopes of selling our baby swings because they take up so much room and the twins really have outgrown them I put them in the Rabbit Run consignment sale. So last night we decided to cut out the bedtime bottle. Wyatt was ok with it. Willa Grace, not so much.
We put them to bed, (well Shayne put them to bed I was off trying to help my sister who had lost her keys somewhere on Abbywood Dr.)
After about 5 minutes Wyatt was sleeping but Willa Grace started yelling. This went on for 45 minutes. Got her up, considered bottle free night an EPIC FAIL and gave her a bottle. Well just to prove that she OWNS US she took about 2 oz of milk, tossed the bottle away, climbed out of Daddy's lap, walked over to the shelf and started taking all her toys out. Yep thats right, she OWNS US!
Daddy picked her back up let her know it was bedtime which was followed by her crying and trying to yell without spitting out her binky.
She screamed and yelled in her bed for another 40 minutes or so before finally giving in.
So what have we learned from this
1. They may not be ready to give up those bedtime bottles
2. Willa Grace is strong willed
3. SHE OWNS US!
