my DD had now turned two... so i need to start weaning her off the bottles

[lipsbite]

how do i go about it? (she drinks SMA Progress formula) She is drinking atm 18oz a day on average

Is there a reason why you've not swapped to cow's milk? When we got rid of the bottle we just made a big deal of him choosing his own big boys cup for milk but it was probably easier cos he was only having milk at bedtime.

Try the 'bottle fairy' - after she finishes her bottle, put it out for the bottle fairy, and in its place will be a nice new beaker in the morning. My dd1 was a bottle addict and in the end I found she coped better with beakers with straw- or sports-type spouts rather than Avent-style ones.

Atm she is using avent bottles for her formula and beakers for her juice/water. How much formula do i give to her at bedtime?

She'd moved on to cows' milk - dd1 switched at age 1. She had about 9 oz I think. It wasn't long after she moved to water at bedtime.

my dd have milk and juice for bedtime but she drink mostly juice for bedtime. so i gather cows milk is normal milk what we drink? and we drink semi skimmed milk..i think we need to buy full fat milk for DD but for how long?

Yes, cow's milk is normal milk. Kids need full-fat until they are at least five, although you can use semi-skimmed in cooking.

many thanks nearlythree.i will have a go x
