My plan is to only give whole milk in sippy with BM in bottles and be done with bottles by the time I stop pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-1082879 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:18:42 +0000 loveisstrange 1082879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: I absolutely agree. Sometimes we have to go up and fill it up with water again before she will settle. :/ I feel like if she's still getting that much comfort from it, I don't want to take it away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-1082867 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:15:40 +0000 BananaPancakes 1082867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Same here. I'm thinking about taking it away in the next week or, two, though. I've been cutting down the amount he gets in it, and we're down to just 5.5 oz, but he gets upset when that's done some nights and it breaks my heart. He's never taken a pacifier and its seems getting a good amount of sucking in right before bed just soothes him so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-1082858 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:13:04 +0000 loveisstrange 1082858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 17 months and still gets one at bedtime. Im hesitant to take it away from her since she gets a lot of comfort from it. </p> <p>Thats the only one she gets though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-1082778 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:55:21 +0000 Running Elley 1082778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been daytime bottle weaning this week (at 11 months). He's still taking formula from a straw sippy cup a couple of times a day and he gets one nighttime bottle before bed as part of his bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-1082775 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:53:58 +0000 sumer08 1082775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weaned from the daytime bottles the week before he turned 12 months, and his nighttime bottle was removed the day after his bday. We did it cold turkey and it went better than I could have imagined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-1082766 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:51:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 1082766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to follow up to see how it went?</p> <p>My LO just turned 1, and I am in the process of not only weaning from our last 2 nursing sessions (morning and before bed . . . which is more comfort than nursing), and also bottle weaning. </p> <p>Any advice/ suggestions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-872476 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:26:09 +0000 winniebee 872476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently T gets it on wake up, nap time, bed time. I've tried to just give him breakfast instead, but he freaks out and demands the bottle. He is so strong willed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-872397 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:05:56 +0000 stargal 872397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 11 months and the pedi wants him off by.his first birthday! On scared!!! P loves his.bottle and isn't a huge fan of his sippy cup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-872387 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:04:27 +0000 loveisstrange 872387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty of avoiding it also. She's 14 months. She's been on whole milk since 12 months, no formula, but I've been procrastinating switching off bottles because she WILL NOT drink milk out of anything but her bottle.</p> <p>She only gets it at nap/bed times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-872385 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:04:17 +0000 autumnlove 872385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped all daytime bottles at 11.5 months. We cut out her night bottle around 13ish months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-872379 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:02:53 +0000 KT326 872379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is going to be 15 months next week. He still gets a bottle at nap time and bed time. I am going to try and go cold turkey this weekend! We tried once before but he ended up getting sick and it just wasn't a good time. I'm hoping this time works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-bottle-wean#post-866347 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:00:00 +0000 winniebee 866347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is 13 months and we haven't done it yet. Our doc told us to figure out whole milk first, then work on weaning. We're not there yet. I'm dreading it! </p>
