When we switched to straw cups he wouldn't drink much so that kind of ended his bedtime bottle routine. We'd let him have a few sips, then switched it to water, and then nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25767 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:39:16 +0000 SAHM0811 25767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been a while because DD is almost 4 now, so I dont remember these things too well, but she probably stopped getting a bedtime bottle around 12-15 months because I was worried about the milk rotting her teeth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25749 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:10:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 25749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uh Charlie is almost 2 and still gets a bedtime bottle? the shame... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25726 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:34:25 +0000 Rosie Girl 25726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Heehee! There are a lot of things I still do with DS that are for my peace of mind! Parenting is the hardest thing. It seemed like taking his bottle away was the end of the world, but in actuality, I think it was harder on me to hear him cry and know that I did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25725 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:32:40 +0000 cyndistar3 25725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly cant remember but I know it was before 6 months. She stopped all bottles before she was one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25723 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:31:17 +0000 heffalump 25723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: Aww. Yeah you're right, I dont' want to deal with that!</p> <p>I think bed time for us is always kind of weird b/c we don't do a normal winding down routine yet. Whenever I try she just gets cranky and wants to go to bed. We just put her bed time diaper on, put her in her pj's, and give her a bottle and that's it. Take away the bottle and I've got nothing :( So far I just rock her and sing her a short song, even though I know she just wants to go to sleep. So really it's more for my peace of mind than hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25720 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:27:17 +0000 Rosie Girl 25720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! Sorry! I think DS stopped at around..... 1 maybe? I took it away though. And cried :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25717 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:25:49 +0000 heffalump 25717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is making me feel better. </p> <p>But nobody answered my question. When did your babies stop with the bed time bottle? What's the norm? (Not that there's a normal with babies....) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25705 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:17:17 +0000 Rosie Girl 25705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you should be proud! At least this way you wont have to break her of it! And as long as she is sleeping through the night and is getting plenty during the day, I say go with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25700 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:11:36 +0000 Andrea 25700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds fine to me, too. She is thriving and is probably getting enough to eat during the day and just wants to go to sleep. Aw, sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25697 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:09:22 +0000 heffalump 25697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: We never worried about her gaining weight before. Like I said... 95 percentile :) Hopefully she stays that way. </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25694 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:03:54 +0000 SAHM0811 25694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need to be worried. It's probably just a phase, but even if it isn't, she should be fine too if she's still consistently gaining weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-having-a-bed-time-bottle#post-25677 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:49:35 +0000 heffalump 25677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby girl has refused her bed time bottle for the last couple of nights. Even though it's been a few hours since her last bottle, she doesn't want anything to do with it. She just wants to go to sleep!</p> <p>So far it's been fine. I put her in her crib, she sucks her thumb, and she's out. She sleeps through the night still no problem. </p> <p>But she's only 4 months old, and from everything I read online she should still be eating that bed time bottle until 6 months. I'm assuming it's because that's when they start solids. My LO is bigger than most (17 lbs 5 oz at her 4 month apt, 95 percentile), so maybe that's why she's ok not eating the bed time bottle?</p> <p>Does anybody have experience with this? Should I be worried? </p>
