14 nearly 15 months how much milk?

Hi all,

my 14 nearly 15 month old son currently has 3x bottles still, around 6/7oz (morning, afternoon, bedtime).
I feel like it may be time to stop at least one of the bottles now & offer the afternoon one in a sippy cup.

can I have advise on what others have done? I’m a first time mum so just not quite sure.
Will he be hungry if I stop his bottles?? I didn’t give him his morning bottle this morning as he woke up late so we just went straight for breakfast. Will this affect the rest of the day & how he sleeps???

issue is & this is our fault, he seems to associate sleep with his bottle so he has a bottle before his afternoon nap & bedtime. Bedtime is no issue, but if we are wanting to wean the afternoon bottle away too that may be tricky 😂

anyways, any advise would be grand! No judgement please, trying my best lol

Could you give a cup of milk with breakfast?
They only need 300/350mls at that age (10-12oz)

Ageee with PP. the advice is roughly 300 ml or 10 Floz at this age.

Could you cut out the first bottle and offer a cup of milk with breakfast instead?

The Caroline Walker Trust has a great guide to feeding 1 to 4 year olds here which includes sample menus and suggested portion sizes Wink
