Mine has 3; one when he wakes up, one after lunch, one before bed.

We stopped the morning one as dd didn't then eat much of her ready brek which we found more important so she now gets one around 2pm and one at night.

I just know some people who look at me like, gee you're giving your dd a bottle still - if i bring it out with me for the 2pm feed?

That's because they think she should have a sippy cup rather than a bottle, not because of what's in the bottle.

I've been trying to get my son to have a sippy cup and some days he does, some days he doesn't. Personally, I just want him to drink the milk!

just one at 14 months - still has it at 19mo - have a feeling it's going to be difficult to get rid of.

Mine has one before breakfast, one after waking from her midday sleep and one after tea/before bed. We use bottles or a 360 cup but it's taken her ages to drink from anything other than a bottle whereas her big sister happily drank from any cup well before she was 12 months.

16 months and has 3/4 cups a day usually. 1st one at 7am when he wakes up (breakfast at 8am) one at 6.30/7pm before bed and 1 or 2 during the day when he asks for it.

2 cups per day, 1 in the morning on waking, 1 at 3 with snack and a bottle before bed. Only drinks a couple of oz from the cup but has about 9oz at night from the bottle. All cows milk.

my DSjust would not give up bottles (still addicted to them at nearly 3) but it turned ot ot be with good reason. He had severe tonsilitis for over a year and a nice cold bottle was the only thing that soothed it for him. the colder the better. he has had his tonsils removed now so we will be working on giving them up but he is still enjoying them due to the comfort factor.
