MY GRANDAUGHTER STILL HAS 3 a day i was thinking it should just be one in a morning and one at night at this age,she does eat her meals just not a lot of it

How many oz is she having?

DS still has upto 5 bottles of cows milk a day sometimes, 8/9oz, and he's 20months. Some days he goes all day without one. Depends really, what shes eating, etc

My lads 14 months old and has tea mostly, He has the occasional bottle of cows milk but far prefers tea.
He has a drink with each meal and then one before bed.

My 2 and a half year old still has three drinks of milk a day simply because he wants it. He has morning, night and then one in the afternoon which I suppose to him is like an afternoon snack. I think just go with what the child wants within reason.

It is advised to have them off a bottle and onto a cup by 12months, however most babies over 12months that i know still have a bottle, especially at night.

My 18 month old daughter has 2 milky drinks a day, one in the morning when she wakes up and a warm one before she goes to bed.
I'm due with a new baby any day now and I just hope that my 18 month old doesn't get envious that my baby is having a bottle as she now has cups.

my daughter is 2 and only asks for tea or water. She was only having 1 milk bottle at 13 months old in the morning. She just woke up one morning and said she didnt want it. He will tell you when he doesnt want it but just try giving him 1 bottle in the morning see if that work x

They need the equivalent of a pint of milk...about 500ml per day...but some of that can be supplied through dairy foods like cheese and yoghurt. My one year old has a sippy cup of milk with breakfast, and milk in his cereal, then a 9oz bottle at bedtime.

Ideally by 1 year old they should be on cups rather than bottles, but I think a bedtime bottle is a comfort and doesn't hurt.

it is still the baby milk though that she is having

my son is 14 months and has 3 bottles a day of cows milk. Theres no problem in having formula after 12 months other than the cost, its so expensive to buy and little ones can have cows milk from 12 months

it is still the baby milk though that she is having

The same rules apply. A pint. And it can still be used on cereal and in a cup.

But I agree with Bexstars, there's no compelling reason to keep a child over 1 on formula. Milk is just as good, and far, far less expensive.

Unless of course, there's a medical reason to stay on formula.

Lewis doesn't have 1 pint of milk a day....he has 100ml with his cereal in a morning and about 250ml at night but rarely drinks it all....how much is that in pints?

He does however eat plenty of cheese and yogurt.

By 13 months my kids could drink out of a baby cup themselves and usually with a good old cuppa.

:DMy son is a 22 years old student and can easily manage eight bottles of lager a day! though he does have a day or two off!:roll:

My son was still breast feeding at 14 months although eating some solids. My other children didn't breast feed as long. All children vary. He may be taking bottles for comfort rather than food. He may just not want to grow up so fast. I don't see its doing him a lot of harm. You could try putting water in the middle bottle and see if its the comfort of sucking he wants or actually the taste of the milk.

Bottles?????

At that age, the child should be drinking from a cup, and eating a normal balanced diet. Good grief!

Congratulations Ladyacademic you obviously have perfect children that have always run to timetable. I have found with mine that they have varied. My first managed most objectives fairly early, my second weaned fairly early but insisted on a bottle of water for some time on. I could have wrenched it off him and insisted he use a cup but as this meant he got agitated and also wouldn't sleep I decided to let it run its course. He decided to finish himself. The third son a very large child (and by that I mean long) didn't want to finish breast feeding as soon. I did try several times to wean him off but didn't succeed till 14 months and he went straight onto a cup. I don't see the point of trying to get children to fit into a rigid timetable, it causes a lot of stress for both parent and child.

I suspect the issue is less about having perfect children and more about choosing to put aside tact and consideration for others due to the lack of actual face-to-face contact here.
It's easy to huff and puff when you don't need to look anyone in the eye. It's pretty common, I wouldn't take it personally.
