When do you drop morning bottle??

[karmagetsyou]

DS is 16 Months

Has 5oz bottle in the morning & 7oz bottle at bed.

When do you drop the morning bottle?

And I know I should prob not be giving him bottles still?!?! Arghhhh

Mmmm well my almost 3 year old still has one

DD is 22mo and has 150ml + 60ml water morning and evening.

She doesn't always have the morning bottle at weekends and doesn't need it, but I am not messing around giving her breakfast when nursery will do so, a bottle is quick and easy and keeps her going until we get there. It will prob get dropped when I'm on mat leave for dc2.

I intend to keep giving her the evening bottle until she refuses it, when she gets to 2 I might start watering it down more.

Ok cool! So no need for me to really drop anytime soon .....

I'm 38 next week & still suck my thumb - I'm not going to deny DS of his only comfort ..... (Never took a dummy or sucked his thumb) does have a bear but only at sleep times!

So loyse .... rock on

Ds is 15 months and has a bottle in the evening that I'm in no rush to get rid of. I'm finding the morning one trickier as he's waking at 5-5.30am so our latest attempt to get him to sleep a bit later is to hold off on the milk and give him it in a sippy cup downstairs at 6.30 ish. It's been two days and the change has not been met well! I suspect we'll be back to a bottle soon.
I'm not terribly worried about giving him bottles. We brush his teeth afterwards and he only has them twice a day.
My sisters kids definitely had bottles until they could be bribed negotiated with to give them up willingly.

I know someone who had a bottle till they were 7. They recently went to Cambridge university so I tend not to stress about these things!

Well if I might say so myself - my thumb sucking hasn't kept me out the boardroom!

My DD is also 16 months and has one morning and night. The morning one probably isn't as necessary as she has porridge/weetabix etc with milk for breakfast, but I'm definitely in no rush to get rid of the nightime one.

My almost 2 year old still has two bottles... Sometimes he has milk from a cup but often a bottle. Brushes his teeth after though - dentist said he didn't mind a bottle or two each day as long as they don't have their teeth sitting in milk all morning/night.

DD had milk every morning and night until after her third birthday & still has the nighttime one sometimes. At some point (can't remember when) we moved from a bottle with a teat to one with a soft spout which still needs some sucking but not a lot

Oh and nearly 7 year old loves his morning and night milk. Warm in a beaker.
