I just went pretty cold turkey! Swapped all his daytime bottles to the beaker (sippy cup) and then within a couple of weeks did the same with the bedtime bottle! He transitioned fine! He was about 14/15 months, I had planned to do it earlier but just after he turned one he had a severe gastroenteritis bout and we had to keep with the bottles to try and get any fluid down him at all! Will do the same with Riley, take away all the daytime bottles and when I know he is happy with the beaker and drinking plenty I will get rid of the bedtime bottle too. How old is your lo? X
@homebirthadvocate how do you know it's time? Ollie will be one this week, and still seems pretty attached to his morning and evening bottle..I don't want to quit just because he is 1...
Jack has been on a sippy since 6 months with only 2 bottles per day. When he turns 11 months I will cut out the bottle cold turkey. I don't think he will have a problem.
@brittneymcgrew That's what I did. my lo turned one Sunday. happy bday btw and I'm on my last can of formula so I do half formula n half whole milk until I'm done with the can. then it will be all whole milk. my doctor said to offer breakfast first then her milk.
