My problem with my 11 month old (will be 12 months old in approx. 3 weeks) is I know she won't be happy if I suggest that we decrease her daughter's milk intake. I have her older child (who is 4) and when she started with me she was 2.5 and was still on her bottles and a soother. I would just dump her milk in her sippy cup and never gave her a bottle at all. I know this mom is not going to be OK with me wanting to wean her 12 month old off bottles soon. Not sure how to approach it but there is no reason why she can't start weaning now. My other infant (14 months) I have in daycare isn't on a bottle and hasn't been since she started and she is a great eater!
