Boy of Boy

What a great visit with the pediatrician today... Rowan and Kieran are growing nicely and we were given the okay to stop formula. I couldn't be more thrilled, since the formula smells horrendous and stains everything. The big debate has started, to go cold turkey or try a weaning method. I'm leaning towards weaning them from the formula and then going cold turkey with no bottles, just sippy cups. Both boys refuse to hold their bottles still, but have no problem holding a sippy cup. If I can get them to drink their milk from a sippy cup, that would mean a life with out bottles! In retrospect the bottle situation isn't that bad, we started with 24 and are down to 8 bottles a day but seriously I think I have fed my fair share of bottles..

Rowan
Weight: 24 lbs 11 ounces
Height: 31 1/4 inches
Kieran
Weight 23 lbs 5 ounces
Height 31 1/2 inches

On a side note if you know anyone who uses Nutramegin, please let us know we have so much left over thanks to insurance and would love to give it to someone we know could use it.....

I totally agree. Wean them slowly off the formula as it tastes much sweeter than milk and go cold turkey on the bottles which are a total pita :) just my thoughts :) Hope to see your little mobile monkeys soon :)
