Elliot, now age 5, told me last week that he still drinks from a milk bottle every night at Karolina’s apartment. He said this on his own. I did not ask him about it.
So now most every night that he is with me, we drink a MUG of milk in bed together.
It’s had the effect I want. Last night, he told me that he asked mama for a cup instead of a milk bottle. According to Elliot, Karolina refused and gave him the bottle against his wishes. But at least he tried, and he clearly understands that milk bottles are for babies.
