Update

Switching to cow's milk was a breeze. Oliver didn't even notice. We spent Friday giving him the milk from a regular bottle to make the transition smooth.
Now today he got his night time bottle with the sippy inserts. If you're wondering what those are, they're the coolest things ever. I didn't need to buy new sippy cups or anything, the sippy inserts are placed where the regular nipples go. AWESOME! Therefore I get to keep all the bottles and pieces [minus the nipples].

Anyway...I said in the last post that he better transition to the sippy fast bc I wasn't gonna break down and give him the nipple. Easy in theory. Let's just say that an hour of screaming and 2 very guilty parents later finally decided that Oliver needs to drink his bedtime bottle and go to bed. We put the nipple back in and he was out for the night.

He usually takes to things very easily but he won't even attempt the sippy. I'm hoping this will get better. My thoughts are that he's such an independent and analytical baby that besides morning cuddle time, the bottle is his last sort of baby comfort. It's really sad to take that away, especially when that's the thing that gives you sustenance.

Here's a picture of him in the tub. :]
