LO just turned one, so we're looking into weaning her off the bottle and transitioning her off formula. Do we do this at the same time though? Or do we do one before the other??

I did with my older girls. Went straight to sippy with cows milk. I think my oldest I gave 1 or 2 bottles of just water and she wanted nothing to do with it so we weaned right to the sippy with my second dd.

I BF, but LO gets one bottle of breastmilk at night. Our pediatrician said to work on getting LO to drink whole milk first, then worry about the transition away from the bottle.

@Mrsbells: Curious about the almond milk/whole milk mix. Is it to get her to drink whole milk? Mine just flat our refuses milk!

We did. Basically, I started introducing whole milk in a sippy during mealtimes and reducing their bottle amounts during the day. By 12 months we had replaced all of their bottles with sippies of milk.

We quit the bottle and formula cold turkey and went straight to sippy of milk.

LO is 14 months, drinking whole milk, but still using his bottles. He refuses the sippy cup/straw cup Our pediatrician said it was fine and to try and wean him at a later date at our 12 month visit. This kid just loves his bottles.

I know many do but I'm opting to transition to milk first then bottle wean.

We went cold turkey on the daytime bottles, but are still giving him a nighttime bottle. He had no issues at all with switching to cows milk, but he did miss daytime bottles for about 2 weeks. I'm waiting to drop that last bottle once he stops acting like he's going through withdrawals for it. He's 13 months.
