what age did you stop bottle feeding your toddler? mine still wants a bottle eve at 3 years. :(

around 2 years I use a sippy cup. i know its hard but the trasition will be easy when you make a fuss out of drinking milk from a glass too.

i stopped around 3 too. sippy cups are good for starters and then they move to the glass at around 4 years old.

i have a child who stopped drinking his night time milk from the bottle at around 5. i think it depends from child to child as some kids like to stop late. it is like soothing to them or they are just more comfortable drinking milk from a bottle.

i gradually introduce the sippy cup as soon as they are able to control their movements at around 16 months. my goal is always to have them stop drinking milk from the bottle at around 3 years.

they can stop whenever they like. i have one that stopped when he started going to kindergarten and another one who stopped at around 3 because he wanted to drink milk from a glass like my oldest son.

i have a child who stopped late and a child who stopped early. its a case to case basis. for me my priority is for them to have the right kind of diet.

i let my kids stop on their own. usually by the time they go to school they prefer the glass as drinking milk from the bottle becomes babyish at this age.

they did not stop at the same time. some kids need the security of the baby bottle while some kids just make the transition to sippy cup and then the glass easier. i just let them go at their pace.

thank you for your answers. i let him have his bottle because i know that milk is important at this age. I am just a bit concerned since my older son stopped being bottle fed at around this age.

kids are different, even siblings. my kids stopped and started things at different ages.

my kids stop right before starting school. a bit late, i know but what can you do? milk is important!
