I don’t see much difference between a bottle and a sippy cup.

The concern is, or should be, sipping on juice/sweet liquids all day, which is terrible for the teeth.

sipping on water all day via bottle or sippy cup = harmless.

Great attitude! Every kid potty trains at his own speed. We can’t make them sleep, eat or poop on the toilet!

Ethan still breastfeeds at 19.5 months and I get so much judgment for that (forget that nursing even past 2 is the norm in most of the world) you would NOT believe it. I like this post, it’s like AA!

I found this to be the worst with potty training – I ignored all of it and my girls were over 3 years old before they gave up the diapers during the day! And they are fine two years later, of course! The good news is the mommy peer pressure appears to me to wane as the kids get older.

Mean moms can suck it!

I think bottle feeding is the same as breastfeeding. Plenty of kids breastfeed to 19 months. What you are doing is respecting the emotional needs of your child, and you should be proud of yourself for listening to your gut!

My son is 3 and he’s not potty trained yet. That’s how I would “out” myself. I had one lady laugh at me. I really wanted to say, “My son can speak two languages, how many do you and your daughters speak?” but since she is technically family, that probably would not have gone over well.
