Does your child spill his drink down the front of Does your child spill his drink down the front of his shirt whenever he tries to use an open cup? 🤦🏼‍♀️ . 🤫I have a secret for you – fill the cup up almost to the top! Why? . 💪🏻 It’s heavier in the hands so they get the feedback through their joints and muscles that says “the cup is right here in space.” Too light of a cup and it’s flying all over the place! . 💦 More liquid means less tilt and that means LESS SPILLS! When kids have just a little bit of liquid in the cup, they have to tilt the cup high and ALSO tilt back their head.😖THAT is a dangerous thing, because it opens up the airway and kids are at risk for aspirating (breathing-in) the liquid into their lungs. COUGH COUGH COUGH! That’s never fun, and it can lead to health issues. . In my Bye-Bye Bottles video course, I share strategies like this to help make the transition from bottles to cups sooo much easier! See all my video courses via #linkinbio or jump right to www.melaniepotock.com 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 . #melaniepotock

Rather than the gradual snip, try my “It’s bro Rather than the gradual snip, try my “It’s broken, can’t fix it” method. 😊 It’s inexpensive and most successful with kids older than 18 months. . ✨Begin by leaving a few broken items around the house, such as a pencil broken in half on the kitchen counter. Pick it up and show it to your toddler, saying, ‘Oh, it’s broken, can’t fixit,’ and throw it in the trash. . ✨After a week of introducing this concept, take the pacifier that is in the crib and snip off the tip when your child is not there. Discard the tip. Put your child to bed a bit early that day, so that she isn’t too tired to encounter the broken pacifier. This is a bittersweet moment to capture on film 🎥💕…because your little one will likely hold up the pacifier and say “bwoken”. Give her a big hug and take her and the pacifier to the trash can to throw it away.”😘 . 🤗Then, give your toddler another hug, put them in bed again. You can do it, and so can your toddler. 💕 . 👉🏼You can also use my Binky-Box method – I posted that last week – it’s for younger kids but it works for this age too! . 📚 Both methods are in my upcoming book, Responsive Feeding, now available for presale orders!
