Thanks, Laura... this can be all so confusing! My son currently eats a meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then about an hour later, has a 5 oz bottle. With his meals, he will have a sippy with either water, or 1/2 juice and half water. Maybe I'll make those sippy cups milk now and try to cut a bottle now. I just feel like if he eats breakfast at 8:30 for example, (as little as he eats), not eating again until lunch time seems like he'd be starving without that 5 oz bottle!! Does this make sense?
