Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Predicament (nursing at bedtimes/transition to milk)

I've tried to figure this out on my own, but I'm hoping you ladies can help.  My 1 year old is down to 3 bottles a day.  Naptimes and bedtime.  He's used to getting changed, rocked with a bottle, cuddled a bit, put in crib awake, and going to sleep.  Problem is recently I've tried switching from formula to cows milk and hes not having it.  I don't think he likes the taste and I've noticed it makes him spit up sometimes.  Should I just drop the bottles?  Try a different type of milk?  He gets plenty of dairy through yogurt and cheese.

  • With DD (she was on BM bottles) I just started decreasing the amount in the bottles. Around 16 months she gave them up on her own and just stopped finishing them.

  • LO was pretty easy but this is what I did. For 4 days I mixed pumped milk half/half with almond milk. Then I moved to straight almond milk for one feeding a day (one of the middle day ones). Then I changed all her day feedings to sippy cups of almond milk. Then I changed morning feeding to that. And night feeding was last to go.
