Hi all,

this might not be quite the right place to post so if not please point me in the right direction.

DD1 is 2 next week (where has the time gone) and still takes a bottle in the morning and at night. Night time bottle is usually after bath, drank whilst reading book then teeth brushed and bed so she doesn't take it to sleep.

The past two nights she hasn't asked for it once out the bath so we left it and she didn't ask for it at all. Still asks for it in the morning.

My concern though is, how much milk does a 2 year old need. She is a very fussy eater, was absolutely brilliant once weaned but in the past 6 months has went backwards and eats very little. I didn't mind her getting the milk as I felt she needed it.

If she's not getting it, should I be doing something else about her eating or do you think she'll eat more. Or should I sort out the eating habits before stopping the bottles?

Oh I should mention, she will quite happily drink milk from a cup during the day but not the nighttime bottle so its in a bottle or not at all.

Sorry, that seems such a long post for a small issue!
