Bottle users! Have you already started to transition off bottle and on to sippy cups for milk yet?

Question

My doctor told me NO bottles past 1 year old.  I know it can affect speech.
I am all for no bottles - and have started the transition - he only gets a bottle in morning and before bed.  I will drop the morning one next week.... then at 1 year will drop the bedtime bottle and be only sippy cups 
Wondering what everyone else is doing.

Answer

We’re still doing our regular number of bottles til 1 yr. then we’ll probably just go cold turkey 🤷‍♀️ I want him to have as much formula as he can before the one yr mark

Answer

My MIL gives my son breast milk in a bottle during the day. When I give him water with meals, I use one of those spill proof sippy cups.

Answer

My son had a really bad stomach virus and the doctor suggested we cut out all formula for a day because the dairy can make it worse. After we got through that rough day we decided not to go back and he has been using a straw cup since.

Answer

I am a working mom so my son get bottles of breast milk when I’m not around. Every since 6 /7months we introduce sippy cup with water. But this week I pack him at least one sippy cup with breast milk in it and then next week I will do two sippy cups and then hopefully by first birthday he will only use sippy cup and no bottle. But yesterday he surprised us and was drinking water from a regular cup.

Answer

Mine has been drinking milk out of sippy cups for a few months now

Answer

I nurse when with ny son, but we transitioned to siopy cups at 9months. I started introducing them gradually at 6 months. I found he took to the soft rubber ones first and now he will take any including the 360 cup. Now we are working on drinking from a straw

Answer

I wouldn’t worry about the speech part. My daughter is 2.5 and she still drinks the occasional night time bottle (basically mostly water with a little milk mixed in, but it comforts her and I’m happy she gets a little extra hydration as she doesn’t drink a lot) - and she was veeery early in anything speech related. After 1 the number of milk feedings goes down quickly anyway - and so does the time they spend feeding on bottles.

Answer

I'm in the UK and the advice here is that "bottle should be discouraged from one" so I'm not concerned. I haven't started yet.
