Anyone’s little one still having/wanting a morning/bedtime bottle? Should we be stopping this? Or any recommendations for appropriate bottles?

My LO is at bedtime and nap time

No advice but same position. Mine still has morning and bedtime from his mam baby bottle. We brush his teeth after his bedtime one and he has it downstairs while we read his bedtime story so he isn't in bed with it. It's maybe not ideal but he won't have the milk from anything else and it's comforting for him. I don't know whether to just stop or wait and see a bit longer if he will stop wanting it/have it from a cup (I suspect not!)

My son is still having three bottles a day, he refuses to drink milk from a cup annoyingly

We have morning and evening, my 3 yo still has a cup of milk in the morning

In the same position. My boy has milk every night for bed. Then about 50% of the time in the morning depending on when he wakes up, sometimes it is straight into breakfast. We have tried so many things to get him off the baby bottle and onto something else or off milk altogether and so far have decided we have other priorities (e.g. when we dumped the dummy, now working on sleeping in his own room after a severe separation anxiety thing)
Glad to hear we aren’t the only ones! I guess milk isn’t the worst thing to still have before bed (some adults do right?). Milk is the first thing he wants in the morning and always a bottle before we go to his room for stories and cuddles

My daughter has it out of a cup but she still has milk before bed, so do my 14 and 9 year old step sons. Some kids just love milk and that’s okay 😃xx

Before her and in the morning, it’s the first thing he asks for in the morning as well x

I have just stopped breastfeeding like three weeks ago and MY LG need some milk 🥛 to sleep but everyday I give it to her in an open cup ..: didn’t know we had to stop the milk

We are still doing milk in a bottle as soon as he wakes and before bed.

No advice but same position. He always has one before bed, sometimes 2 in this hot weather, drinks water from anything fine but only wants milk at bedtime.

I don’t think you need to worry and there’s no need to stop the milk. Kids need to drink milk for calcium and healthy bones right up until they are teenagers. Most adults could probably do with drinking more milk too!
