When is my child ready to be weaned from the bottle?

Typically, 9 months is the optimum age to wean off a baby from the bottle, regardless of whether you have out him of breastmilk or formula. After your kid turns one-year, it can be a bit more difficult. You can try the one-week plan as soon as your little one turns 9 months. If your baby is able to sit himself up and hold his head, he is ready to transition to a sippy cup. Try doing a quick hold-and-show by bringing the sippy cup close to her mouth and let her drink from it. Once you squirt a little milk from the spout, he should be able to figure out how to drink from it.

I latched my kids until they were 3 and 2 respectively. After weaning, I switched to bottle feedings. Some parents prefer to wean bottle at later age due to the fact that bottle is more convenient to be used, especially in the middle of night. Normally when kids are in kindergarten age, they are more ready to wean from bottle as their milk intake frequency is much lesser, say 1-2times per day only. During this period, it is easier to wean from bottle. Also, it is easier to reason with kid about cons of drinking from bottle (e.g. tooth decay etc.).

I think it depends on when you want to start training your child to drink from straw or cup. I have seen mommies who start to train her baby to drink from straw at 7 months old. As long as your baby are able to take in his milk without the use of bottle, you can stop using bottle. I personally never introduce bottle to my baby so he never drinks from bottle. I direct latch him whenever he wants milk. I'm planning to let him learn to drink from straw and cup when he is 7 months old.

thanks
