my baby will be 12 months soon iyh!
I know that at 12 months her primary source of nutrition isnt formula anymore.
is the goal to start weaning her off bottles in general?
she has 4/5 bottles a day and 3 meals a day.
her weight is good her height is good bh.
any tips on how to start getting her off formula? should I try goats milk or cows milk ?

I stopped pumping when my baby was 12 months and immediately switched to water in the 360 munchkin cup (I personally didn't do milk, but the only liquid I gave in a bottle was breastmilk)

Milk isn't nutritionally necessary for a child over a year. The nutrients can come from other sources. Even after I weaned, I didn't replace nursing with milk. Baby drank milk occasionally, but not a certain amount of times every day.

Op, do u like straw sippy cups?
None of my children had a hard time weaning off of bottles at a year. They gave it up easily..
I also took away pacifiers at 6 mo. That was also fine bh

Next time around I plan to go straight a regular cup, but start earlier so baby is fully trained to use a regular cup by 1.
3 full meals + snacks

At a year I switched 1 bottle at a time to a solid snack + cup of regular whole milk. Took about a month till the bottles we're totally gone.

Chill everyone.. most babies do drink bottles till at least 2! Many stay on formula longer. I started my kids on red milk 10-12 months. They can drink a few bottles a day. This baby, I watered down milk with about 1 oz boiling water. I would encourage water, or diluted apple juice. You can use a regular cup by meals. I tried many sippy cups and this baby is not a good sippy cup drinker.

I weaned at 18m approx. Was such a baby still! Did milk from 15-18. Baby wasn't eating so well at 12 yet and it was pesach time. I got some comments how young it was but I ignored them. Happy I did it, I see plenty of 3 year olds with bottles but breaking that habit younger is easier. But dc sucks thumb!

Which cup would you recommend (other than a regular cup with no lid…since sometimes that isn’t practical due to child or circumstance)? Also what specifically about the 360 do you not like?
I’ve been told by one speech therapist that it’s great and from another to use a straw cup instead but it was a while ago and I don’t remember the reasons they said.

At 12 months I got rid of all my bottles and switched to cold milk in a straw sippy cup a couple of times a day. I heard straw cups are best for baby's oral development.
