Ditching the Bottle?

  I did it slowly and could care less what my pediatrician says. Regardless, mine said to not worry about it, and take my time.  I don't get it- really I don't and get fired up everytime someone posts here stressed about it because of their pediatricians.

  My 1st was so attached, I did one bottle at a time and dropped it by 2 maybe? My second wasn't so attached, so dropped them altogether one day- just cold turkey and she could kind of care less. She didn't really drink much milk for a week or so though, then went back.

  I'm not stressed about it - rather just curious about other moms' experiences. Thanks for your suggestions!

  I would do half in a bottle and half in a sippy. I would give her the bottle first then when it was gone and she wanted more, I gave her the sippy. It had a soft spout so it wasn't a huge change from the bottle....she was fully on the sippy cup after 3 days.

  It wasn't bad for us. We weaned over a weekend. At first she hated milk out of a sippy. But quickly got over it. Doc said to feed her crackers and only offer milk if it came down to it, but we never had to resort to that.

  We put milk in the bottle for a couple of days then we just cut it cold turkey no issues.  We will figure it out.  I do think it is important to not have a bottle, bad for teeth and if you pediatrician recommends it then there is a reason.
