Not looking for the 'right' or 'wrong' answer here as, I know there are a lot of differing views but, out of curiosity... what age did your LO stop having milk from a bottle?

Thanks 😊

We started getting rid of dummy and bottle at 12 months and then the lockdowns hit, my dad died of covid and everything went tits up. I gave up, did what I needed for my sanity and to keep baby as calm as possible while trying to work. We ended up stopping dummies at 3 and bottles shortly after.

He only had a bottle for milk though. An open cup for water.

I stopped my twins having milk in a bottle at 14 months where they went to soppy cups.

We were totally on it with DD1, bottle went by 12 months.

DD2 was a totally different baby and we only finally got rid of it at bedtime when we went on holiday to Italy when she was 3! We used the different location etc as the reason why no bottle and she accepted it - in hindsight I think it was us who had built a superstition around the need for it at bedtime!

At 12 months we only gave a bottle of milk before bed. She wouldn't drink it out of anything else until she mastered a sippy cup at 18 months, at which point we ditched the bottle.

(Munchkin 360 for water but would not entertain this for milk)
