Answer 1

seems like everyone needs to take a chill pill here. There is no set time when a baby should NOT have bottles anymore. If it were all that simple, there WOULD be a text book on parenting and the world would be right. Now I've had my rant; sweetie, my sixteen month old has 3 bottles of milk morning, noon and night. Probly two bottles with ribena and the rest he has cups of water with his meals. My eldest refused to give up the bottle and we had to fight him off it at 2 and a half years of age. But with my littlest one, I am in no hurry because he is having a variety at the moment and so I think that the transition will be a lot less troublesome anyways. Hope this helps honey :)

Answer 2

My son was weaned from the bottle just before he turned a year, so I can't really understand your situation exactly, but I will say if it is the toddler who is more attached (and not an issue with it being easier for you not to have to work at weaning) then try just letting him have his bottle just before bed, or maybe a half bottle at naptime. I know that some kids get really attached to the bottle and it is hard for them. Only let him have a cup during the day though, or offer a cup of milk and the bottle only with plain water. When my son was about that age he would drink maybe 3 or 4 cups of milk a day and always had a cup or 2 of water at night.

Answer 3

A toddler that age needs about 8 servings of dairy a day. I agree with the others that s/he should be off the bottle by now. If your child is really attached to the bottle, as my youngest daughter was, try giving only water from the bottle. S/he will tire of it rather quickly.

Answer 4

My daughter only uses a bottle in the morning. She uses her sippy cups during the day, and she is 14 months old.

As for how much milk, our doctor told us that she should have at least 4 - 8oz servings of whole (Vit D) milk daily. We also give her the Propel (the water drink made by Gatorade), and we give her water with a splash of juice to flavor it.

Answer 5

I do not care what anyone on here says. My little girl is 16 months old and I still give her a bottle. I plan to start weaning her a few months from now. She is just a baby, it's to bad that a lot of the people on here didn't just give birth to 5 year olds instead of babies. They want them to grow up way to fast. My little darling has got PLENTY of time to be a big girl, and I absolutely don't believe it should be before she is even a year and a half. You do whatever you think is best for your baby. I think she is fine. Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

My goddaughter is almost a year old and has been off bottles since she was about 9months...she weaned herself off it...I would say your toddler should be off the bottle by now and using a sippy cup instead, he doesn't have to drink formula anymore he can drink real milk or juice...he should be getting the majority of his nourishment from real food.

Answer 7

No, My youngest was potty trained at 14 months and off of the sippy cup at 10 months. A lot of this probally happened cause she has to older siblings, and she is a smart cookie! My youngest is 2 now and loves the word no, but goes on the potty, drinks from a big girl cup, can count to 32, and knows her ABC's! No Joke!

Answer 8

Don't say that people are being rude, you asked how many bottles a day and then you turn around and say she only uses one at night.... make up your mind. What is the purpose for the question if she only uses a bottle at night?

Answer 9

go away him in mattress until eventually at last 5:15 for 3 or 4 days. Then go away him in mattress until eventually at last 5:30 for 3 or 4 days. save increasing the size of time via quarter-hour each and every 3 to 4 days until eventually he's getting up once you desire him to. He could desire to the two sleep or discover ways to entertain himself.

Answer 10

My sons stopped the bottle a little over a year..... got used to a cup quickly and were happy they graduated to them - and they drank the milk they want.... Don't overfeed - they'll let you know...
