So, when does one make their child give up their precious Binky, Lovie & Bottle? Wyatt is a hair shy of 18 months. We are "weaning" him off of the bottle this week, actually more like cold turkey. I am worried he's not getting enough milk.

Wyatt is also a binky & lovie addict, to the point if he wakes up in the night and they are not in his mouth or grasp he cries out for us to get them. Should we try to wean him off of these now as well? But, they give him such joy.

Wyatt's sleep has been a bit off for the past few days. Last night we had to start sleep training again, as he didn't want to go to bed, didn't want his bottle, binky or lovie. When it was "time" for bed (7:15pm), we put him in his crib with his creature comforts, said good night, turned off his lights and closed the door. He was mad & cried for all of 3 minutes, before he laid himself down, fell asleep and didn't wake up again until 7:00am this morning.
