Bye Bye Bottle

The Bye Bye Bottle is a technique that was first introduced in the Christiansen Family episode of Season 1 of the US edition of Supernanny. In this technique, the parent explains the child will no longer get drinks via a bottle, and only offers a cup because he/she is a big boy/girl now. This Technique often caused a lot of tantrums.

Bye Bye Bottle steps
1. Get replacement cup

2. Explain to child he/she is too old for the bottle. Or if you know your child is too old the best time to do this technique is when your child is not around you or at night when they are sleeping. That way they won't notice or know that their baby bottle is gone.

3. Don’t give in when child throws a tantrum.

4. Dispose of bottle.

Parents can also buy a soft bottle toy (plush) if the child is in a major meltdown and he loved it so much.
