New dcb and bottles

[5 Little Monkeys]

I haven't had many on bottles but 4-5 at dc seems like too much to me too. If I remember correctly, 2-3 at dc was the most I've had and that was when I very first opened and had an 8 and 10 month old. I think it was only the 8 month old who had bottles though...I have a terrible memory! lol I have had children who get bottles at home quite a bit older (like 2-3 years old) but they never insisted on bottles at dc so I didn't worry too much about it.

I don't particularly care if they have bottles but I give them at the table so I find that sippy cups work better so they aren't having to tip their head back too much to get it all. Around the 14 month age I usually start dumping the bottle into a sippy cup.

Currently I have an almost 2 year old who sometimes comes to daycare with a bottle of formula....I admit, I find it weird but hey, not my kid lol. He finishes it and than drinks from a cup the rest of the day.

Yes, you are making me feel more confident about the number of bottles. I am going to confirm with the family if they really give it that many times a day, or if some of those times it is just water in the bottle or whatever. They assured my that he uses a sippy cup, so I guess we will see. Apparently he is also a lover of throwing food and bottles on the floor, which is not cool with me.
