I’m revisiting this article now that Chase is 9 1/2 months. I’m definitely going to start thinking about weaning him from the bottle soon.

Quesiton: Since they say babies need breastmilk/formula thru 1 year of age, does that mean you now give the baby her milk in the sippy cup throughout the day?

I am very happy to announce that the bottles were packed and away at 11 months. Although I love Dr. Brown bottles and my daughter never had any problems I am happy to see them boxed away.

Great article and super helpful for me as I know this time is coming for me soon. I introduced the sippy cup to Chase (with organic baby apple juice as well) at 6 months and he does “okay” with it, but needs work (as half the contents often end up on his bib, soaking it through). He loves the taste of the apple juice, which i think is what keeps him motivated to use it (when obviously he prefers a bottle). But he likes to stop mid-drink and start using the spout as a teething ring…. and then, once he’s finished, he’s a fan of flinging the cup wildly off to the side…. so of course Im there to monitor his use.

But yeah, i know in a couple of months it will be time to wean him from the bottle and, because he loves his milk just before bed like your DD, i already predict that will be a challenge. Baby food is cool during the day, but he’s gotta have his bottle in my arms before he sleeps. This will be interesting…..
