My little one has 2x 50z oat milk bottles - due to lactose. Just wondering, is anyone still on bottles and not cups and when is everyone planning to start weaning them if so?
Everywhere I read it says don’t let them use bottles after 18 months. My LO is now 19 months and I’m not sure how I’d wean him as he relies on his bottles for comfort as part of his nap and bedtime routine

i was told not to past 12 months and that’s when i stopped he still has his milk in a cup, but honestly he still has a dummy to sleep at 19 months so i wouldn’t worry about it too much. we didn’t wean either we just did a straight swap to his water cup to make it a bit easier. don’t beat urself up about it tho
Thank you! He doesn’t have a dummy. He was in hospital so we couldn’t give it him so we got rid of it when he was 9 months
So bottle is his only comfort and his blanky. Also I tried a cup and it just went everywhere haha! Even in a straw cup xx

My little boy won't take his milk out of a cup. I've tried but he just gets upset so bedtime bottle is staying 🤷

Can I ask a question about the lactose. My LO has been fine with milk but for the last 4 weeks he’s been getting runny or sticky poos. Pop sample done and not caused by an illness. Doc just said it’ll get better on its own. When I’ve reduced his milk, the poos seem to be more normal. Can they develop a lactose intolerance at 18 months? Going to post as a superset post too! Xx

My daughter still has a bedtime bottle. She will not drink milk out of anything else. Im not overly worried at the moment as it is 1 bottle and she uses a dummy for sleep so think the dummy is probably worse for teeth lol

We have milk out of a bottle morning and night - also oat milk! He also has a dummy so double whammy haha x

I haven't even really tried a cup, still has 2 bottles, 250ml per day.

Still using bottles here for milk. He has two 240mls a day, one for nap and one for bed. Will try a cup at some point, but I'm not in a rush 😊

Yes Amaya is using 1 bottle for normal cows milk at night before bed

I still use bottles for milk. He won’t drink it out of anything else. It’s not worth the fight 😂. X

Milk out a bottle first thing in the morning and bedtime and still uses a dummy for bed. She refuses to drink milk out a cup and using a cup with straw for water/juice
