I guess we should move toward dropping that since she's older than 2 and milk is less important, plus she's potty trained so we should really not do liquids right before sleep. Meh. We just brush her teeth after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2334195 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:32:57 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give DS a sippy cup if he wants to drink anything while in the living room. Otherwise, he uses a straw cup or a regular cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2334192 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:31:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2334192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 19 month old still has a paci. I let my almost 4 yr old drink from a straw cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2334091 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:29:11 +0000 PinkElephant 2334091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: @Mrs Panda: Another thumb sucker here! My DD is almost 3.5 and I'm not actively trying to stop her..it's basically just at bedtime and when she's really exhausted or stressed. </p> <p>@regberadaisy: It hadn't even occurred to me that a snack catcher was babyish! :) I'm all for anything that keeps my floors clean, haha. Sometimes I think I'd like to give DH a snack catcher! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333973 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:30:32 +0000 Alivoo01 2333973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another sippy cup user here, but only when he lays in bed getting ready to sleep. He refuses to go to sleep unless he's had milk. He drinks from a straw or regular cup at home, daycare, out and about, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333943 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:13:59 +0000 catlady 2333943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pacifier at bedtime. And I still nurse her before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333935 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:10:17 +0000 lawbee11 2333935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same with the sippy cup. She uses an open cup at daycare but she uses mostly a take n toss sippy at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333931 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:08:43 +0000 regberadaisy 2333931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's been using a snack catcher for snacks because her baby sister does. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333928 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:06:22 +0000 mediagirl 2333928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She sucks her thumb but, whatever. That'll end on its own someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333918 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:00:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2333918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, when she wakes up in the middle of the night usually Dh or I go in and sleep with her in the big bed for the rest of the night. She's almost 28 months and while I wish she would just fall back asleep on her own, I tell myself she won't always wants us to snuggle her like that. Also she still has pouches when we are eating meals out- she doesn't need them but it's by far the easiest way to get veggies on the go and she eats all real foods at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333915 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 11:58:45 +0000 Mrs Panda 2333915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah yes, mine also sucks her thumb when she's going to sleep. I don't consider that a baby habit I'm "letting" her keep because I'm actively trying to get her to stop! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333902 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 11:51:22 +0000 Freckles 2333902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old likes using her sippy cup from time to time. I don't think it's too big of a deal since it's not a frequent request.</p> <p>Sucking her fingers when she goes to bed. *hangs head* She's come a long way but it's a hard habit to kick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-habits-you-let-your-toddlerpreschooler-hang-on-to#post-2333884 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 11:38:14 +0000 Mrs Panda 2333884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are there any baby habits that you have let your toddler (or older) hang on to? I let my 4-yr old drink milk from a sippy cup in the mornings because she wants to use the same kind of cup as her little sister. It's only at breakfast, though - the rest of the time she uses a real cup. </p>
