When do the bed time and or morning milk feeds stop?

[PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt]

My DD is 1 and has milk at bedtime and again first thing when she wakes. I was just wondering when that changes.

No idea sorry - DD is 14 months old and she still has both too! Mind you she also has at least two milk feeds during the day as well.

Still going strong here at 20 months.

ooh 2 years and 4 months, still has milk in the morning and at night (and sometimes during the day).

its good for them ! don't worry about it (oh, unless BF of course!).

nothing is set in stone, do whatever feels right to you.

Dont' see why it can't go on for as long as she wants it - my DS is 1 and don't plan to stop until he doesn't want it any more.

DH is 30 this year and still has a warm milk before bed and a milky drink when he gets up
DS has the same but from a beaker while we read his bedtime story, its good for em

Does it stop? I still give my 4.8 year old milk in the morning and at night!

My nearly 3 year old still has it - doesn't have to stop unless they want it to I think. Makes a lovely easy start and finish to the day.

Hi,
I don't think that milk in the morning and before going to bed, has to stop at any age.
I did have a glass of milk monrning and before bedtime until I was almost a teeneger, and then I think I did stop it as I thought teenegers don't do these things.
I have two DDs, DD1, 7, has a glass of soya milk before going to bed, and another one for breakfast, DD2, 3, hadn't had milk since she is 10 months old, she doesn't like it, but now, some days, would have a glass of chocolate milk.
I think the issue is how the milk is drunk, in a bottle or not. But my DD1 had the milk in a bottle until she was almost 5.
If your DD likes to have some milk, why should you stopp it? It's nothing wrong with drinking milk, and after their first birthday, you can give them normal milk, they don't need formula milk, as long as they get all the other nutrients from other food, well that is what I did, anyway.

my 15 month old has milk in the morning (along with his breakfast) and at bedtime but both are from a lidded beaker. My dd (4) doesnt drink much milk but occasionally has a cup of it with her breakfast.

my 3yo and 2yo still have morning and night milk. No plans on taking it away from them.

2.5 and still has it.

I know plenty of adults who like ovaltine (yuck, pah) before bed :-)

Don't see why it has to stop ever.

If it's breastmilk, then teethcleaning isn't an issue.

If it's cow's milk (including formula) then yes, there's a worry about leaving all that lactose on the teeth all night and possible tooth decay.

Oh yes that's true I didn't think about us all having hot milky drinks!!

Now then - I would welcome all thoughts, opinions and ideas:

I am just weaning DD off the boob and want to change her morning routine a wee bit. We currently boob straight away and then change her nappy and then back in to the cot with toys while I shower and then go downstairs. I want to be able to get showered etc before going downstairs to give her her morning milk but I don't think she's going to thank me for new nappy only and then back in to the cot to play for 15 mins. I also think she will be annoyed at going downstairs, seeing all her toys etc etc and having milk and then being 'put back in to bed' while I shower. What do you all do?

Take her in the shower with you? That's what I did, or put her in the pushchair with the tv on for 10 minutes while you shower.

I normally try to get in the shower before going to get ds out of his cot. It does mean I have to get showered at about 6.45am though . Could you take your lo into the bathroom with you and let her putter about while you get showered? We have an en-suite shower room so I just leave the en-suite door open and shut the bedroom door and ds just wrecks the bedroom while I shower(or tries to get in the shower/brush his teeth for the sixth time, etc, etc)
