Baby nearly 12 months and still having bottles

[Td1988]

Hoping someone can help me

Baby is almost 12 months, turns 1 this month and still wanting 3 bottles a day

She refuses breakfast as she wants a bottle in a morning. This is 6oz

Then she has breakfast around an hour later.

She has lunch but then also another bottle before her afternoon nap this again is 6oz

She has tea/evening meal as well and again wants another bottle before bed. Usually 6oz

She will have odd snacks as well if she wants them and eats well across the 3 meals a day.

My first daughter I dont remember the transition well enough to know when she stopped having milk or when I transitioned milk to another botter/cup and what I used.

My question is how do I reduce her bottle intake when she is still wanting the bottles and taking them? Also if she does have milk still after 12 months should she be having it from a bottle still or something else?

Thank you in advance

Probably time to start thinking about a cup. Maybe switch one bottle a day to a cup to start off, then two, then three.

She probably won’t like it but I’d give her breakfast first thing with a cup of milk. She should get used to the new rountibe after a few days.

My child is also three and on a bottle

Do the bottle fairy. Put the bottles next to her pillow, the fairy takes the bottles for new babies to use and leaves her a toy and a new fun kids cup (maybe her favourite cartoon character on it etc)

Then make sure you throw the bottles out where they can't be seen in the bin and don't buy anymore. It'll be hard for a week or so but she'll adjust!

What cup would you use please? Tia

I’d give one of the 360’s a try first.
