Weaning from a bottle

When is the right time to wean your kid from a bottle? As you can see my oldest who is 4 years and 4 months, already a toddler, is still drinking his milk from the bottle. We have tried to introduce him to a cup, even buying a cute glass so to say, but it only lasted a month. When his sister arrived, he insisted to drink milk in his bottle.

As I don’t want to get stressed during that time, I agreed to what he wants. Now, we’re having difficulty to let him drink milk on a cup. We are noticing an increase in his milk intake. He is now drinking milk four times a day.

Here are some strategies I need to employ to completely wean him from his bottle:

1. Offering milk in a cup before every bottle feeding.
2. Weaning gradually.
3. Leaving the morning bottle for last.
4. Cuddle and explain.
