  As you drop bottles his intake will pick up and he'll get enough nutrition from food.  We dropped the middle one first and kept the one before bed until a couple weeks after his first bday.  Then we missed it a couple of nights and he went to sleep fine without it so we dropped that one too.

  Thanks ladies. So since you dropped all bottles, when do you give your LO milk now?

  It's the bottles themselves you're supposed to be weaning off of, not the milk   They should still be getting several cups of milk a day (usually people serve it with meals but some people do it with snack instead if their kid tends to fill up on the milk too much at meals)

  We dropped the middle bottle, then a week later we dropped the morning bottle.   First thing in the morning we give her milk in a sippy cup.   Then she gets milk with breakfast at daycare. 

  We are still doing the night time bottle because LO has been sick the last couple weeks and I don't want to add more stress.  But, I really don't think she'll have a problem dropping that and going with a sippy instead.

  So for us, we basically just switched out a bottle for a sippy cup.  One thing I've noticed....if we give her milk with meals, she chugs the milk and then doesn't eat much.  So with meals we give her sippy with water instead and a sippy with milk during snack times.

  We dropped the morning one first, then the afternoon nap, and last to go was bedtime.

  Just with meals.  She has water throughout the day if thirsty.
