What age should you stop giving your toddler milk in the morning and before bed!

My LO will soon be 2 years old and still has milk in the morning and before bed . At what age do I stop LO from having milk at bedtime and first thing in the morning? Also ask to drink milk throughout the day too even after eating solid foods x

@Oll LO doesn't have toddler milk as I introduced whole milk at 1 years and now will be 2 still having it. Also still has breakfast after milk and eats snacks, lunch and dinner everyday but sometimes doesnt eat well! I know its okay but I think he ask for milk more than food some days x

We stopped giving morning milk when he stopped eating his breakfast.
We’ll give him a bedtime bottle until he no longer wants it, can’t imagine it’ll do him any harm having it for a while.
Now and then my LO will ask for milk during the day - as it’s so rare I’ll let him have some (if after a meal), you could always try offering a snack instead if you’re worried he’s having too much milk :)

You don’t need to stop them from having milk. As long as you’re brushing their teeth at night after their last bottle ☺️ nothing wrong with milk during the day as long as they are eating well!

My 7 year old still has milk in the morning and asks for it just before bed.

I don’t see anything wrong with a few cups of milk a day. Even some adults still drink cups of milk throughout the day

Awwwww mamas thanks so much for your advice! I'll continue to let him have it but cut down on the amount he has throughout the day and get him to eat more xx

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
