I broke my youngest daughter from the bottle when she was a year and a half. That's a good three or four months longer than it took my other daughter. She wasn't hard to break at all but the only way she would drink milk was in a bottle. When did everyone else break their babies that bottle fed?

I am way behind, my two year old still have two bottles a day, one in the morning and the other at night. It's not cereal but he has refuse to have anything at these times.

I weaned mine off the bottle by slowing changing it from milk to water. For a week I put 3/4 milk and 1/4 water in his bottle. The next week it was 1/2 milk, 1/2 water. The next week 1/4 milk and 3/4 water. Then I took it down in even smaller increments. I gave them whole milk in a cup. By the time we got down to water with a drop of milk they were no longer interested in the bottle and were happy to drink from the cup.

I began weaning both of my children on their 11th month birthday and had them 100% off the bottle/formula by 1 year (this is what my doctor suggested). I started by taking diluting the formula more and more each week until it was basically water. At meal times, I gave them whole milk in a sippy cup. Both of my children were fine letting the baba go at 1 year.
