When to stop bottle feeding...

Don't know anything about it.  But just wanted to say how much of a cutie your little guy is - what a gorgeous smile!

500-600ml equivalent formula (or cow's milk after 12 months) but that includes milk on cereal, yoghurt, cheese etc. Was what plunket told me.

I have rung plunketline a couple of times they are usually really helpful with this type of question.

My eldest dropped to 1 x 180ml at around 18 months and then dropped his milk altogether at about 2. He was however not eating any dairy cos of an allergy (his formula was a specialist script one). My youngest seems to go between feeding 3 times a day (and sometimes once during the night) to only having one feed but it's impossible to know how much he is actually having. He also has milk on his cereal.

Gracie is just over 1 year and she only has two bottles a day. After breakfast when she has about 100mls and before bed. We make up 200mls for this one but she is yet to drain the bottle. I think all children are different. Gracie is having some yoghurt and cheese but not every day. If he is eating well and everything else I wouldn't worry too much.

Hehe thanks ladies! I think he's pretty cute too!

He has ALOT of cheese and yoghurt... like will have a finger size stick of cheese and a yoghurt pretty much every day. And he looooves cream cheese so has that a fair bit. Then 100mls formula on his brekky. But yeah to me he seems to eat quite a bit? For eg. today... he had one and a half weetbix's and half a banana with 100mls formula for brekky, marmite sandwich and calci-yum yoghurt and cruskit and a fruit bar thing and rice crackers and cheese for lunch and for dinner he has steamed veges with one of those watties simply create sachets (3/4 fills a normal sized bowl) and then a tin of custard for desert. And as for bottles... he's probably had 50mls total out of 2 bottles!

Hannibal that's reassuring that your little girl stopped at the same time

I was just wondering whether he might be giving up the bottle rather than the milk. Maybe try the milk in a sippy cup.

DD is 14 months and has 2 x 180mls a day (1 of cows milk in the morning and 1 of toddler milk at night before bed time) plus she eats well and has yoghurt and cheese as well. We have gone through stages where we would be lucky if she had 1 bottle of 180mls, so it does vary. I have tried going with a sippy cup and even tried having the milk cold but NO! as far as DD is concerned milk must be warm and in a bottle!
