Okay mommas I need advice. My family is hounding me saying I need to stop giving my daughter a bottle (I’m a teen mom so…

Being a teen mom doesnt make you less qualified in mothering since to be honest "mother knows best" stand your ground tell them thanks for your opinion and follow your baby when baby is ready baby will let you know, the mother bond with baby is supernatural and no one can mess with it! Be confident in yourself you have the answers within you

My daughter is the same and she's 2.5

Don't just do cold turkey like people say. She will get dehydrated if she doesn't drink.

It's probably a comfort thing.

At one I dropped my girl cold Turkey off her bottle. They may not work for everyone though. The binky is what I will struggle with.

I would just take all of the bottles and throw them away. The later you wait, the harder it will be. Plus going to sleep with a bottle of milk will rot her teeth.

I slowly cut the amount in the bottle every few days till she was down to 1 oz then just stopped giving it to her. I think she realized it was getting smaller and smaller so she wasn't getting that much anyway and when I got rid of the bottles she didn't have an issue. There are sippy cups out there for little beginners that are similar to the bottle that might help.

Throw the bottle away simple

Agree with the above user. I just cut my daughters off from using them completely and randomly. I did it right before their 1st birthdays and it took them both like a week to get used to it. “My mom was like give them time they’ll get thirsty and realize they have no choice.” Lol but yeah that’s what worked for us.

Just cold turkey with the bottles, otherwise my son would just keep preferring his bottle bc that’s what he’s use to. He fussed abt it for a day/ maybe two, and then it was done and over with and loves his 360 cups now.

My son is gonna be 3 in 2 weeks and he just stopped using a bottle in June. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My daughter didn’t get off the bottle till she was 2 n yet I still struggle cuz that’s all she wanted but I started to show her that big girls drink out of a big girls cup it jus depends when ur child is ready a lot of ppl judge but it’s ur kid n u do it how u want 💕

My oldest was the same way. We took the bottle cold turkey and gave him a special “milk only” cup. He skipped sippy cups and went straight to straw cups. They’re easier and better for their teeth. He’ll still only drink milk from that kind of cup

My son is the exact same way! 1 and stubborn! He refuses milk from a sippy, and has to have a bottle for nap or bedtime of milk. He will only drink out of the nuk soft tip sippy for his water or juice. He doesn’t show any signs of it changing either lol
