14 mos. and 3 bottles

I still give my DS 3 bottle of WCM. Is this too much or still recommended? I give 2 before naps and one before bed. My next step is to move to sippys full time. When you transitioned, did you just offer milk at meals? Did your Lo have trouble falling asleep when they were always used to going down that way? Just looking for experiences and ideas. I hate the whole cold turkey so I would rather cut down step by step.

    We switched to sippies when we transitioned to WCM, but I still offer it 4 times a day just like his bottle schedule.   I was just told between 16 and 20oz a day, I figure he'll drop down to 2 or 3 sippies when he drops his morning nap and bedtime sippy.

    DS is 15 months and he gets a sippy cup of WCM with meals.  We made this transition just over 12 months.  I started off also offering it at bedtime, but when we missed it a couple of times due to getting home late and him falling asleep in the car he didn't miss it so I dropped that one.

    We do two sippy cups of WCM per day - about 18 oz total. We were doing three sippy cups (6oz each) but she struggled to finish the mid-day one so we dropped it and increased the others.

    We switched to sippy cups when we introduced WCM. At that time our pedi told us 12oz min. and 24oz max. per day. The kids get milk with at least 2 meals a day, usually 3. Water for snacks, and a 4oz juice box on occasion.

    we introduced WCM only in sippy's.  I didn't want him to get used to having it in the bottle and become more attached to his bottle.  He gets one bottle an evening now of toddler drink an hour before bed to signify the start of his night time routine.

     We graually lengthened the time between bottle and nap/bed time and let him try and fall asleep on his own.  It took a little longer to get him first used to it, but it did get better and now he easily naps without it.  We are not as successfull with the night bottle yet.  It seems he still needs it

    I am totally going through this as well, so I'm keeping an eye on this thread!

    Currently, when she's home, we'll give her bottles before naps and one before bed. She takes two bottles at DC. One around 9AM, and one around 3. However, she has pretty much always been on one nap at DC (she's there 3x a week). We are definately getting ready to transition to one nap a day at home. I think I'll start to ask DC to give her milk at meals in a sippy. Right now she drinks water with meals in a sippy. However, I'm holding on to the nighttime bottle as long as I can. It's my favorite time of day.
