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.
