Wean off of bottle
« on: August 28, 2005, 22:20:01 pm »
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to wean off of the bottle? My dd turns one in two weeks and we will be switching to milk then. I tried to put formula in her sippy cup yesterday for an afternoon feeding and she wouldn't touch it. Any ideas??

Does she know how to drink out of a sippy?

We dropped all bottles cold turkey right after Ewan's first birthday.  Although we did know that he knew how to use a sippy.  It really only took him one day to forget about the bottles and then he was fine.

She loves her sippy cup but with water. She has been using it since 6 months.

Well you still have some time before she is one so you could just start offering her the formula/milk in a sippy and cut back on bottles so that you only have one left to cut out later. :D
