Weaning off formula

mommy2tristen2004

Anyone got any suggestions for getting my twins undependent of formula and bottles? They get a bottle of 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 formula when they wake up in the am and then they get oatmeal or grits or cereal, for lunch they get another bottle (1/2 milk 1/2 formula) and baby food, and then an afternoon snack of cheerios or graham crackers etc. then they get dinner (whatever we are having or baby food) and a bottle (1/2 milk, 1/2 formula) , and then a bottle before bed, so that is at least 4 bottles. I do not remember how I got my 4 year old off the bottle. They like their sippy cups, but not near as much as their bottles. HELP!!

a week ago, mine were getting five bottles a day. we just switched out two of them (lunch and dinner) for sippy cups of milk. their formula consumption has dropped off a lot in the past few weeks, just naturally. i'm just taking it slowly. i hope to have them off the bottles totally by their first birthday, but if not, it's okay.
