She is 15 months and has one bottle of milk in the mornings, this is the only milk she drinks as she wont drink milk from a cup.

She drinks water from a free flow tommee tippee cup but spits out milk when I put it in the same cup.

Should I maybe try giving her milk in a doidy cup, or leave her with the bottle, what should I be doing?

My DD is just 3, and still has a bottle in the morning and last thing at night(and during the night), (extra blush,blush-see earlier post). She also has one during day when she asks-i think this is for comfort. She has recently started nursery, and drinks from a cup there, and will also drink from kiddies cup at home. She doesnt have a dummy and her speech is excellent,(well she does have 5 siblings).She is my 6th, and am not stressing about bottles-i know she will stop when ready, and wont be taking one to school with her.My GP also said not to worry, there is no rule book to keep to-each child does things at their own pace.Sometimes, in the busy society we live in, it feels like children are rushed through childhood-almost like it is inconvient.Or sometimes it is kepping up with what everyone elses child is doing. We are basically talking about babies-even 3 is little in my eyes(in general terms, not just on the subject of bottles).I am going to enjoy this stage-not just cos shes my last, but cos i know how quick time goes.

My DS1 is 2 next month and he has a bottle of milk morning and night. HV said it's fine as long as he doesn't have juice from it.
