Finally Akshaj has started walking...since it was so long due ..it was such happiness mixed with a about time it happened kind of feeling ...
Since he had started crawling pretty early he had become a pro at it ....so he never felt like walking...he would take 1-2 steps and then will again be in all fours ...
He was at such a stage instead of walker making him walk ,he was making the walker walk !!
But thankfully at last ...he is walking ..though he tries to walk so fast that he falls more than he walks but still he has no issues with it so we are just overjoyed ...
He has finally done 2 of the 'to do ' thing from his list he is walking and he has learnt to climb up and down the bed...
Now one the major problem I am facing is weaning him completely out of bottle ...when I am at home from morning till evening I make him drink with a spoon...but at night time I am still offering him bottle (though I do clean his teeth after it)..this way he sleeps peacefully(so do we) and gets up only in the morning(so no night time feeding)...
But I am just not finding the courage to make him stop using bottle completely...sometimes when he cries for milk in his sleep and just do not know how he can drink without bottle..sigh..
Also for the days I come to office things are not in my hands...so it is a mix of bottle and spoon he is getting ..
I have tried sipper but he just does not like to drink from it and again drinking from sipper is also not considered to be good so do not want to do it anyway!!
Well he has completed his milestones for now .. but mine are still long way to go !!

Making them give up the bottle is tough on the mother and the baby both :)
ihm you!!! here ?
Thanks for dropping by
You are correct its getting tougher day by day though he drinks from the spoon as well but when too much hungry then its difficult
this is the most difficult thing to do... i know but u know most imp too...
all the best
and my suggestion dont start the spoon thing else very soon u will be struggling to give up that
Wow! He is walking .. very sweet :)
Hugs to him and kaangarrooats :)
Akshaj has started walking..now there will be no stopping him :))
As for weaning,I can understand what you're going through.Namnam was never on bottle,somehow she never took a liking to it.I fed her till she was about 18months and then slowly I weaned her to a glass straightaway.
It was tough initially as she would wake up in the middle of the night for a feed.I used to substitute her interim-feed at night with water.She got used to the routine in a few weeks.
Akshaj too will get used to it,I'm sure.
Its us mothers who end up feeling terrible after that phase.I was a wreck!

Wow feeding for 18 months ..that's so good...Akshaj also wakes up at middle of night and he just does not drink water ..and we end up giving him bottle with milk in the end .
