I have a new little one, he just turned 1. He is still being bottle fed twice a day. This is his 3rd full week with me and he's transitioning in very nicely. He eats like a champ!
The bottle is given to him twice a day (outside of normal meal times) by laying him on his back on a blanket and he takes the bottle on his own.
I was doing this with him for the first transitioning days. But I hate dealing with baby bottles. I don't think they need them after a year and I always ask for the kids to be transitioned to Sippy's before they come. Mom says he will take a sippy at home with water in it. Hasn't tried milk in it yet.
so, what would you do at this point? Would you continue the bottle on the back thing until mom's ready to give it up or would you start to transition over?
If you would get him off the bottle would you just go cold turkey? Offer him the sippy with milk at snacks and meals and let him figure it out? (won't take a sippy from me yet at all! ) He eats great! But I'm concerned about him going too many days without taking mIlk at daycare.
thoughts?
