I think "they" recommend stopping bottles at around 12 months. Whoever "they" are!

Agutka - defintely sounds like a night terror type thing to me, and I don't think he's too young for those. Certainly not a case of any mental problem, I wouldn't think, you hypochondriac!!!

How very dare you . Well, YOU try taking it in your stride at 4am!

As for being a hypochondriac, Joseph has mental problems, I have cervical cancer because they haven't sent me the smear result yet and hubby has what I consider a cancerous mole on his back . Maybe I need to up my AD dose again :eek:.

i think naturally things will take its course with re to baby bottle. Jack takes every drink apart from his night milk from an open cup or sports bottle. But night milk is a comfort and we've been unable to stop it for more than few days at a time due to his sister sitting there having her bottle of milk. I know he can do it and same with dummies i'll with draw them together, its just Jack gets his longer than I would like otherwise its not fair dangling a carrot in front of him, Molly gets and he doesn't.

Once Molly can manage a cup i'll try them together. Can't be dong with 3 on bottles if iam preggers again.

Molly hold her milk bottle now and has been for a few weeks, but i just let randomly around the place avent bottles with water in. She had sips from them and her tommy tipees, she also now has a kids on the go sports beaker. She just did it herself at 13 months same as Jack. I know leave a avent bottle of water 1-2oz in her cot at night(after she gone to sleep) so if she wakes she can drink and not call for me esp in the morning, keeps her going for an extra 15 mins. This morning was 7.45am when we heard her but don't know when she woke but she must have been up a little while as toys thrown out of cot and books everywhere and the water had been drunk and thrown on the floor!

Couple of funny things today. Put Charlotte down for her nap this afternoon and could hear her talking in the cot, then she started shouting "ham and cheese, ham and cheese, ham and cheese, BUTTER" No idea what that was all about but she dropped off shortly afterwards.

Just been playing on the floor and she put her doll to bed and then I had to lay on the floor and pretend I was asleep. I closed my eyes and she said "ahh Mam's eyes off, Mam sleeping" :rotfl:

Would it be worth buying some special 'milk' cups so its different to her normal cups and making a big fuss of her, im not really a fan of the no spill cups and dont really want her having one after she has had free flow since 5 months but will give them a go if they are closer to a teat for her.

I know she can easily do it herself as she has given herself water from the start and doesnt want any help so I think its more that she likes being given her milk?

Opinions please, I dont want a 3 year old with a baby bottle!

One of the few HV's I had any time for (grandmother of several) said in her experience a child was about 18 months before they happily went from bottle to cup for milk. Ds was about 18/19 months before he was happy to go to a cup for milk, despite having drank water from a cup well before 6 months.
