She will drink it if she realizes she won't get the bottle back.
Also, if she eats cheese or yogurt, those are good sources of calcuim as well
Plus milk isn't like form or bm, it isn't the only nutrition she is getting, so if she doesn't drinks so much, its not the end of the world, KWIM?

Re: getting rid of the bottle? enough milk?
she needs 16-24 ozs of milk a day.
I would skip giving juice until she starts to drink enough milk. There is no reason for juice, milk is way more important.

Ask the dr. They will tell you if it is more important to get rid of the bottle or to have her drink more milk. I was told 12 oz minimum.

I agree with this. My Dr. said there is no nutritional value in juice and to only give DD milk and water. She will eventually drink it if its all she gets. We just saw the Dr for DD's 1 year appt this week so we are finishing up our formula before ditching the bottle. Probably one more week. She uses a sippy for water now.

Re: getting rid of the bottle? enough milk?
why are you getting rid of the bottle? If DD loves her bottle than why not let her keep drinking out of it? Isn't she about the same age as my DD...a year ? I didn't think we had to get them off the bottle just yet! At least that there wasn't a rush to do so.

Some pediatricians recommend it. I believe because of their teeth. I think.

Mine said nothing about this at our 1 year appt! Now I'm freaking out that I haven't been trying enough to wean her off the bottle! Ah! one more thing to worry about :(
