If DS self-weans should I give him a bottle?

[pipo]

DS is 15 mnths old.He has been mostly breast fed with 1 feed aday of formula since 3 weeks old.He now eats 3 good meals a day.He is b/fed in the morning and just before bed and he has a bottle of cows milk before his afternoon nap and a beaker of cow's milk for elevenses. I am thinking of giving up the evening feed as it takes forever as he spends more time bouncing on the bed etc than feeding. Should I replace this with a bottle of cow's milk or does he not really need a drink before bed . I don't want him to not have a drink if he needs one .

how about a beaker instead?

offer and see what he does.

LOL pixiefish.Can I tell you my 101 other dilemmas?

go on then

NO dont bother. he soesnt need a dinrk beofer bed, had he a cup? and does he sip out of that whenever he wants.

my ds was weaned at 13mths and just drinks water/jucie never milk form a bottle and i have no worries whatsoever about milk intake if anything i am happier he doesnt drink it.

youre only starting something you ll have to stop at a later date.

yes hermykne, he has a beaker of water throughout the day that he sips from.This is what I am wondering really-does he actually need a drink(of milk)before bed.

pipo honestly dont bother, my dd older than ds has to have milk only becuae i created the habit with her and ds doesnt cause it was never there to start.
hindisght?!!!!

My ds self weaned at 11 months.
I have never given him cows milk or formula.
He only ever had a bottle for EBM.

We just went straight to a cup.

A cup of what moondog? and did he drink it before bed?

Sorry,just meant I phased in acup from about 9 month with water/juice.

I've never got into the whole bedtime drink thing though.
Ijust offer them a bit of water just before they go.
