Night Time Sippy Cup Drinking
Does anyone have a good suggestion or idea on how I can get my 2 year old to not need a sippy cup to stay asleep thought the night?

I think it depends on what he is drinking? When my daughter was little we gave her a bottle of milk to go to bed ( I know I'm a bad mom!!! I know) Anyways she became dependent on this and the only way to break her from this was to put water in her bottle! Then we got rid of the bottles and we started to use sippy cups!! She is four now and she still gets water in a sippy cup when she goes to bed! I think this is ok as long as it's not milk or juice and just water!!
