Speaking of bottles:

When will absolutely stop giving your LO bottles?

 I ask this because there is a 3-year-old at Kylie's DC who gets a bottle every afternoon when her parents get there to pick her up. I just couldn't see giving a 3-year-old a bottle. But, maybe that's just me.

    At 1 year the bottle is gone. We are already transitioning her towards that. It may be sooner since she is doing so well.

    We got rid of it at 9 months and there has been no looking back.

    I agree. We also are getting rid of the binky at 1 year old. I will be on vacation, so it will be a good time to be vigilant about sippys and no binks.

    I wish we were on sippys now but they haven't figured out how to tilt their heads back yet.  I'm hoping by 1 year they'll be gone.

    How did you do this? Isaiah refuses to drink anything but juice or water out of his sippy. I have tried cold milk, warm milk, nothing works

    We are trying now but she has no interest in any type of sippy cup. She just keeps throwing them off her tray or onto the floor. I have tried the "she'll take it if she's hungry enough" but she won't. We have literally tried every type of sippy cup.

    I think I must be really lucky. I didn't really do anything special. I just stopped giving him bottles, haha.

    We switched to goat's milk, maybe that has something to do with it. He really likes it. What if you try a different kind of milk like almond or coconut?

    I'm pulling the plug at 12m.  I don't think it's a big deal to let them keep the a little longer - but 3 is really old to still have a bottle, especially in the middle of the day.
