We have reached 1 year!
wrote in message I'm not sure what the answer is, only that I agree it would be better to ditch the bottles. Any ideas on how to do (this bearing in mind the nursery have limited time and people to take it too slow) would be very welcome. In the meantime we will have another go at the bottle so at least he is on the way to transitioning from formula. If I read the original post correctly you are still nursing right? When I was still nursing Luke I just stopped sending the bottles to daycare. Actually I sent them and ask that he not get them unless absolutely necessary and he had one day of one bottle (versus 3-4) and nothing after that. His bottles had either formula or breastmilk. I did provide a sippy cup with cows milk that they used at nap time and snack time. He had had sips of cows milk but we switched cold-turkey. He didn't drink much cows milk for a few months but it increased as he got used to it. He nursed so didn't need it for nutrition. It didn't seem to bother him at all. Some babies might have a harder time but it might be as easy as that so try it :-) Luke was 13mo because I used the last of the can of formula before stopping the bottles. Congrats to the 1yr mark ;-) -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |
