Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Is there any reason to keep the bottle?

Ok so we have been working on the trasition from bottle to sippy and so far DS has done great! We are up to two sippy cups out of four bottles a day. I am wondering if there is any reason to keep the bottle at all since he is doing so well even though DS is only 10 months old. Clearly we are still giving formula until 1 year so it's not a question of that vs. whole milk... Opinions? Thoughts? TIA!

Re: Is there any reason to keep the bottle?

  • I started switching 1 bottle a day to a sippy and the past 2 days he has been bottle free. I am going to keep the bottles in the house another few weeks but if he will take a sippy, I wont offer a bottle.

  • We completely ditched the bottles right before Henry turned 10months old.  He only has sippy cups now and is doing just fine!

  • no reason to keep the bottle if he's doing great on a sippy. That is great that he's doing so well so early on :)

  • You may want to keep one bottle so you can measure the oz of water to mix with the formula :)

    haha this!  We are in the exact same boat - down to 2 bottles and 2 sippies a day.  I'm going to drop the morning bottle next week, but I'll probably let him keep the bottle before bed for a while.  I like the snuggling we get to do before he goes to sleep - bottle time is the only snuggling I get anymore!!

  • We are weaning too and DD is 10 months old. In another 2 weeks I will cut out the last bedtime bottle and transition to a sippy. After she is taking that regularly, I will happily ditch all the bottles!
