My daughter is a great sleeper too (she just turned 3 and has been sleeping form 7:30pm to 8am since she was a baby). Kicking the pacifier habit when she turned 2 was tough for us. She didn’t use them in the day, only when she went to bed at night, but it was a battle to kick that habit. However, our pediatrician recommended stopping it when she was 2 for tooth forming reasons.

I can relate that you were hesitant to stop the bottles, they get so big so fast, sometimes I feel like not pushing milestones will keep them little much longer. I know in reality that isn’t a great way to parent, but easier said than done right?

I remember when we were expecting baby number 2, my daughter was almost 2 and we decided to try and transition her out of her crib (because we needed it soon for her soon to be born brother) and thought it would be better to transition her before he arrived so she didn’t feel like we took it from her so he could have it. However, I will say I was so sad to see her in a big girl bed….I wanted her to stay a little girl for a bit longer!
