Not a clue! I think some have dropped it by 12 months. I'm just going to play it by ear. Like I said, some days he's not bothered at all and some days he drains it. Just do what your instinct tells you.

P, when did you drop Leah's bedtime bottle? Ellie, If I leave it up to my instincts, Finlay will still be having it at 10 years old PMSL!!!! He drains it EVERY night, LOVES his milk, will not let me put it in a beaker either, screams his head off each time I have tried and carries on screaming until I put it into a bottle!!!!

[Leahbird]

She has never had a bottle hun she was BF and i let her self wean which she did a couple of weeks after her 1st birthday! Really suprised me at how quick it happened she fed one night then the next didnt want it!
I then thought I should offer her a cup of milk but we found that she was still full up from her dinner and was bringing it up so we stopped.

[Claire76]

OK thanks hun. Maybe I will just gradually reduce it, don't know, will have a ponder, thanks guys xx

Love this post, great for different foodie ideas

India had 7ounces of milk at 8.30am

She then had 1 weetabix at about 9.15am

I had a crumpette at about 10.30am and India had a couple of mouthfuls before eating her bowl of blueberries and strawberries

India had her lunch at about 1ish and today she had a cheese and ham sandwich with a couple of cherry tomatoes minus the skin which she doesn't like followed by some melon and a cow biscuit

Mid afternoon India had some dry branflakes just to help her poopy problem

And for dinner we had home made toad in the hole and I served India some of her winter veg rather than the mash we had but hers was one I'd made earlier and it's basically mash with swede and parsnip in with it which she really likes as it has a bit of bite and she had carrots and peas the same as us. She didn't want her yoghurt for pudding

She then had a beaker of milk at about 7ish and then she was off to bed.

She used to drink beakers of water during the day but to disguise the taste of her movicol we were advised by hospital to dilute it with apple juice or fresh orange but preferably the apple juice as this helps lo's poo easier, so today she has been drinking apple juice and getting her teeth cleaned every hour as I'm so worried what its going to do to them !!
