Jack is weaning himself from the bottle and formula :(.

We can only get him to take one bottle with out fighting it which is the night one (6-8oz depending on the day). Virtually all the other ones he won't take. The ladies at daycare have been putting his formula in a sippy cup which he takes but not as much as he should. He still has a big appetite and will eat anything you put in front of him which has never changed. He does drink water from a sippy cup at meals and we offer it at home whenever we are out. or playing.

At 11 months how much formula does he really need? Would it be horrible if we start phasing it out and only offer it at bedtime?

He's 25lbs and has been at that weight for 4-5 months, he's huge!!! He's crawling like a mad man and walking behind one of those push toys.

What does your pedi think? He sounds like a big boy, but you say he hasn't gained any weight in 4-5 months? That seems a little worrisome...

The pedi isn't worried that he hasn't gained any weight since he had so much to spare. Keep in mind he was 6 months old and 24lbs. That's huge!

Max did the same thing at 11 months. We just switched to whole milk in a straw cup. It took him a bit (weekish) to get used to the milk but then drank it like a champ. He took himself off pureed food at 10 months so when we switched he was getting 3 full meals of table food.
