Hi my little one has just turned 1 in March, she is still having two formula bottles during day (morning and night) and one through the night, any advice on how to stop this? Thank you

Do you mean change it over to regular cows milk? If so, just put some cows milk in with the formula and very slowly make the bottles less formula and more cows milk.

Or do you mean you want to stop the bottles and move to cups? Because unused to buy a cup with handles and a soft spout for this age.

They still need milk at one.

Or do you mean night wean? Because I'd offer less and less milk in the nighttime bottle and offer water as well. And then, eventually only offer water.

If you want to just change over to cows milk then you can mix with formula and gradually increase the cows milk portion until it is all cows milk.

If it is the bottle element not the milk then you could try with a sippy cup or a doidi cup. My children still had a drink of milk in a cup first thing in the morning and before they went to bed a long, long time past the baby stage.

Just recently did this with my 9mth. So 8oz next night 7 next night 6 so on. 1 oz then next night nothing. When he woke after the 1os little sip of water. Then that was it. Surprisingly easy. I was dreading it
