How did u guys get your baby off the bottle? My son needs a bottle at night to fall asleep and one more during the night. Any tips on how I could start ending the habit? He’s almost 11 months old but definitely want to start trying before it gets too bad to where he won’t break it. He does have a sippy cup but I’ve only ever put watered down Gerber juice in it. Could I just put milk in it and get rid of his bottle completely???

We just switched all his bottles to cups. It took two months but he was off a bottle at 13m. Maybe try switching the formula to water at night? He may stop on his own after a few days, or he may keep with water at night. We keep a cup of water in his crib at night if he wakes up thirsty.

That's how we did it. I was super late with that transition though, my daughter was 2 when we stopped the bottle. I do believe they're supposed to stay on breast milk or formula till 12mo at least though. But giving him a sippy with bm/formula is fine just as long as he's still getting his nutrients.

@laniejay, yes! He has a baby tooth brush that we use.

Are you brushing his teeth before he sleeps? A bottle of juice or milk in bed will rot his teeth.

When I night weaned I would rock them with the bottle, then clean their mouths while sitting, then rock them to sleep.
