I had planned to do that at 18 months, and did, expecting a problem. But she never missed. We have a bedtime snack instead now. I do continue to give her some formula, though, because I feel the extra nutrients are important for her, especially given how sick she was! So go for it. You can still cuddle and rock after bedtime snack! And she can still get extra nutrition if you make the formula but give it in cups at meals/snacks. The battles will get tougher later!Jennifer G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17917499217868402935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288995014693881732.post-65092906036183862202009-09-30T21:21:27.342-06:002009-09-30T21:21:27.342-06:00What great kids, both Josh and Ellie!
