It's a Mom's World Home

My little boy is now 43 months or running 4 years old. As I can remember, he just stop feeding from bottle by the age of 3. It was not that hard because we did it slowly, like I alternate the bottle and the glass feeding until we completely got rid of the bottle.

my baby stopped bottle feeding at the age of 2 and a half years old. i am so proud of him because he did it on his own. he said that he is a big boy already and should drink from a glass.

Ideally, school age should mean no more bottle feeding because it would be a big hassle bringing milk bottle in school. You can talk to your child about it and let him/her understand the possibilities. You don't need to rush things to avoid pressuring the child.

Well, it will definitely be a gradual process and I think it is better to let the child do it on his own than pressuring him/her and comparing them to other children.

i think it will depend on the child. you should not worry too much about it because each child develops differently just we need to give them enough time to adjust.

I gradually had my babies change from a sippy cup to a glass. the transition went slowly. from around 2.5 years until they were around 4. For me kids should be able to drink from a glass at around this age.
