My daughter usually hits feeding time before bed so she gets part of bottle before bed. She usually doesn't drink it all cuz she falls asleep. She's 6mon.
With my first, I gave her a bottle before bed until about a year.
My son turns a year old in July and I still nurse him right before bed. After feeding him, I put him in his crib to go to sleep. Same with my first. Is there a particular reason your ped wants you to stop? Some kids need that comfort before bed.
I don't. I give him his last one around 730 and he goes to bed at 9. Bed time bottles are linked to a lot of things like asthma, ear infections, tooth decay, and obesity so that's probably why your doc wants you to stop. Those things are probably rare though.
Oh please! My daughter is 3 and weighs 24 lbs. My kids both go to sleep without having to eat though. I would just do whatever you are comfortable with! So long as the bottle is not in crib with baby at night!
Both my kids have/or had one and never had any issues with any of that. I wont leave a bottle in the crib at night. (after 1 I left a little water in there for my daughter but no milk)
