Leah Remini Tries To Wean Her 3 1/2 Year Old From The Bottle

I Like It I Don't Like It
See More... I happened to catch this episode of Rachel Ray by accident this morning, and couldn’t stop watching. King of Queens star, Leah Remini was on, and she let Rachel Ray’s cameras inside her home as she tried to wean her 3 1/2 year old daughter Sofia from the bottle.

Sofia co-sleeps with Leah and her husband Angelo, and has six bottles of water through the course of the night. As you can imagine, no one is getting any sleep, and since she’s drinking so much water, they’re changing diapers at night too. Leah realized that the bottle situation was unhealthy - but she gave in because she didn’t want to hear Sofia cry.

The Rachel Ray Show sent a parenting expert to Remini’s home, as well as a viewer who experienced the same problem. They both gave Leah and Angelo advice - but in the end, Leah just couldn’t do it,

“The viewer was sympathetic to the real issue, which was that I did want Sofia off the bottle, but I didn’t want to hear my daughter cry,” Remini said. “She had very helpful tips that worked with my philosophy of not just ripping the bottle from her hands, which as a parent I was not willing to do.”

  • That kid is going to have a huge weight problem her entire life. Feeding her 6 plus bottles per night???? OMG, she's already a heiffer, wait until she's 6. This poor girl. Leah should've thought about her daughter's weight instead of giving her thousands of calories in BED! I'm sure Leah feeds on lettuce and celery. Maybe she porks vicariously through Sofia. Sofia's going to look like that fat girl (also Sofia) on Seinfeld.

  • Just looking at her in the picture says alot. This poor little girl looks unhappy and don't mean just about having her picture taken. Leah doesn't want to hear her cry so she give in to her...okay, Leah, just wait until she's a teenager with an obesity problem and then she'll really cry as she has weight issues, guilt issues and issues about blaming her parents for allowing her to have her way while she was a baby instead of setting limits and keeping her healthy. Her parents will only see a portion of the crying this child will do when she's a teenager...alot of her pain will be felt in private. Shame on you, Leah...take control now...be the parent and save this child from the lifetime of pain and agony of being obese.

  • She's three and a half and still in diapers and on a bottle? At this rate that kids still going to be doing this when she starts Kindergarten. The kid's really going to be crying when all the other kids make fun of her all the time.
