Is anyone else struggling with getting their 1yr old off using their normal milk bottle? My little boy has a full on melt down and refuses to drink his milk in any other bottle than his baby bottle. Or he’ll take a glug of the milk in the bottle we are trying to change it too and just spits out everywhere. We’ve tried using the tomme tippee bottles, sippy cup and straw cup. The mam toddler bottle & a 360 cup.
Bit lost on how I’m supposed to get him off using these bottles with the way the last 3 weeks have gone😬😬

I think my daughter pretty much still used hers well into the age of 1. I wouldn’t stress if he wants it. My friends say the same. X

My HV said to just put her milk into sippy cups etc but my daughter is 1 and I don’t plan on teaching her to drink milk from a sippy cup until she is older as she still has a bedtime bottle x

We kept adding more water and less milk until the bottle was just water. He still wanted the bottle for another 3 weeks once it was just water and then one day he just stopped wanting it. That was around 15 months.
Also as a side — we don’t need milk as humans (I know controversial 😳) so if he seriously won’t take it any other way don’t stress about it to much. Offer him other high fat dairy products instead. (Think yogurt and cheese).
You could also try an open cup. My son (19 months) has always preferred an open cup over any other cup with a lid.

My toddler had her mam bottle at night until she was 17m, at that point we just said if you want milk it’s in a cup and she just didn’t want milk for a while few weeks later she started wanting milk in a beaker so don’t stress too much. Will do the same this time
