Guys

DD refuses to have any milk at nursery during the day, she has bottles at 7am/6pm and 10pm

dd is nearly 7mths now. I was wanting to drop the 10pm feed but she needs to have that milk... how can i get her to switch from the 10pm feed to having one a nursery??? they tried giving it her in a cup, but no success.

Why do you want to drop the 10 pm bottle? DS had a bottle at bedtime till he was 4. We only started to drop it because we wanted him to be dry at night and drinking so much so late wasn't helping matters. Would your DD be able to go 12 hours without a drink at this age?

I'm just not sure how long they should have the night time bottle for, I heard that it can be bad for their teeth if they feed during the night as the milk pools around their teeth all night.
thats why i thought about dropping it... what do you think?

I don't know what to advice. I am breastfeeding DD (9 months old) and she's in our bed during the night too, so she's breastfeeding on and off all night long. I don't know if breast milk is better for teeth (she has 2) than formula milk. I think 7 months is a bit too young to go so long without a drink, unless she does so on her own.
