When did you start weaning from the bottle?

KJOjuly04 · January 2009

I can't remember when I started weaning with ds but he was done with bottles buy 14 months. When should you start?

my pedi said they should be weaned by 18 months. Right now DS is only getting 3 bottles per day and the rest in sippys. He is also at daycare during the day so they could be pouring the bottles into a sippy there too. I'm surprised at how well he takes to a cup over a bottle.

Around 11 months she moved up to the Toddler room at daycare. So they started giving her formula in a sippy during the day. She was still getting a bottle in the morning and at night at the house. Right around her 1st birthday - when we transitioned to milk - we replaced her morning bottle at home with a sippy but kept the bedtime bottle. She had her last bottle on 1/2/09 (right around 13 months).

Hayden has 3 bottles a day for the most party. We are just starting sippy cups at daycare today! She is the youngest in the class, and she is always looking at the others with thier sippy cups. I decided to take her new birthday "Hayden" sippy to school today. She loves that cup! LOL! Hopefully it won't take to long. I'm using the Dr. Brown's bottles, and I can't stand washing those things. So, the sooner the better if you ask me. lol! She just turned 1, so I think we are right on track. Hopefully....lol!

DS kind of self-weaned. he was down to 2-3 p/day at 11 mos. We stopped cold turkey right before he turned 1.

My Pedi recommended by 15 months

DD stopped taking a bottle between 10 and 11 months.

the day after DS turned 1. It took 2 weeks. We started with one feeding then two and by the start of week two it was only at night. Then just the sippy. He cried and fussed a bit at first but we never gave in and by the second week only sippy

Right at 12 mo. He wasn't really depending on it anymore for comfort so we just switched cold turkey and it was no problem at all.

I started at 11 months and he was completely off of bottles at 12 months.

Up until a week ago DD was getting one bottle a day. Now she's getting a sippy of formula. I tried to switch her to a sippy of milk but she wouldn't have it and screamed for her formula.

My older DD was off botles/formula at 11 months and I am on the same plan for my 10 month old. She is down to 3-4 bottles a day. When I finished the can of formula I just opened, we will switch her to whole milk and sippy cups cold turkey. Daycare may still offer her bottles of formula until she is 1 per policy but they will also give her whole milk with her meals.
