Dummies/Bottles.... nearing the 1 year mark!

[FTMFML]

First time doing this- bloody last time!
Just wanting time check with other mums if this "plan" sounds ok?

When LO turns one I am thinking of getting rid of her Mam bottles and give her a favourite cup with some milk in it before bedtime if she is looking for something and brush her teeth after it.
Planning to use her dummy solely at night for sleep.
But should I just cold turkey her dummy?
She only uses it for sleeping purposes and if her gums are sore.

Really not sure what's best to do, or do you just follow your LO's lead?

We didn't get rid of dummies till closer to 2.5yrs as was easier to do dummy fairy and explain it to them. At 1yo if you remove you are taking a source of comfort away and you need to rwplace it with something as they won't understand. I didn't want DD to thumb suck so kept dummy longer.

Bottles i think we kept till 1.5yrs maybe, didn't see the rush to get rid and didn't want to have to deal with the spills and messes of cups at bedtime. Also didn't want to mess with bedtime as she was sleeping so well. Maybe follow your child's lead and see if they are happy to give up bottle and go from there

Both mine had a dummy until they were 3. I would go with an easier life and leave the dummy until later. I coincided it with napping stopping in the day as by that point I was just using it as a sleep aid. 1 seems quite young to take that comfort aid away.

Thanks both of you so far!
I've just been reading guidance etc and I suggests ditching bottles at a year old and dummies seem to be in a similar category and have a risk of speech delay etc. But I realise this is guidance for a reason... not a rule! Good to know your experiences though Thank you!
She will drop her bottles easily I think even just now she wouldn't probably look for them but the dummy at bedtime would definitely be a tearful time! - when do you give them a comforter etc in the cot? She has a little plush toy she adores but I'm a bit anxious to leave it with her overnight!

Stopped having dummy through the day 2.5, still using it on a night time at 3. He literally spits it out a minute after he's asleep and that's him done til he next night.
I would say from 2 I started taking it away from him during the day of it was just hanging in his mouth.

Bottles went at 18 month.

Personally choice really but I wouldn't take them both away at the same time.
I went cold Turkey with the bottles but gradually took the dummy away.

We Limited the dummy a bit more from 1ish but didn't get rid until 2.5 when he could understand. He had a gap in his top and bottom teeth, which I was worried about but it closed within 2 weeks

Thanks again for the replies very helpful gaining insight!

If it’s one bottle before bed I wouldn’t be in a rush to get rid of it as she will likely spill all over herself. They say no bottles from one but they really mean don’t give your kid all their drinks in bottles. If she has cups for other drinks and then milk in a bottle at bedtime that will be absolutely fine. I would drop it whenever she seems ready.

I breastfed and stopped at 14 months so just went straight to cup with no problems. I'd say around a year is about right to get rid of bottles.
Regarding dummies, if you're very strict about only using them in the cot then I don't think you need to stress too much about speech delay. You could try ditching them at a year but don't stress if she's not ready. You can reason better with a 2 year old!

Again thanks for the replies and experiences! She is great at drinking.. all be it very messy from a cup but she had mastered straws by sheer accident in an M&S cafe when she was 6 months old by watching me drink an apple juice carton and looking for some! She had a little flip bottle with a straw ever since and is does really well taking her water from it, might try transitioning the milk to that during the day before go for it at night

Why are you so keen to get rid of the dummies at 1? What difference do you think it’ll make allowing her/not allowing her to have it?

she’s only just turning 1, she will not comprehend why you’re not letting her have her comfort. It won’t achieve anything.

Regarding the getting rid of dummies I was thinking of the speech delay etc that is so heavily pushed in articles but as I've stated she has it for bedtime so hopefully it wouldn't make any difference. Hence getting the experiences/opinions of others before I made my decision.

Most people just ignore this ‘guidance’ don’t they? I get how drinking out of a bottle all the time can be a problem and also sucking on a dummy all day. But using a dummy just for sleep and having a bottle once or twice a day for milk is really no big deal at 1 or even 2 years old. Save yourself the hassle and your child the frustration of all this. It’s not worth it.

My 3 year old still has a bottle before bed. I really don't see the harm tbh.

Thanks all again! No idea what people do honestly but reading this thread is giving me a rough idea so not so much haste. She isn't particularly bothered by her bottles so that will be easy to drop but I will keep the dummies thank you 😊
