Whether formula or breast milk- I don't nurse DS to sleep, but I do nurse him right before bedtime each night. He is 9 mos old and not STTN yet.
When (and how!) did you stop?
-
Around 15 months. DD lost interest on her own once I took away the bottle. She didn't want bedtime milk in another type of cup so I started giving her water instead.
-
I stopped when I officially weaned her from her last nighttime bottle at 13-months. I just gave her whole milk for dinner that night and never gave her the bottle before bed and went straight to her bedtime routine. It was a surprisingly smooth transition and she didn't seem to miss it after the first day or two!
-
We took away the bottle at 1 year and replaced it with a straw cup. That reduced his milk intake dramatically (especially before bedtime). We switched it from milk to water, then eventually took it away around 14 or 15 months.
-
we switched to a sippy cup full time at 12 months, offered that to her at night, she usually wouldn't take it. We stopped offering milk at night soon after that.
-
@lovelife: were you nursing prior to the sippy cup?
I'm just wondering how I should go about cutting out nursing at bedtime! I know I have several more months but I don't want it to become an issue when I inevitably wean.

13 months with DS, his night time feeding was his last to give up.
