nighttime milk for toddler
Question. Ds is 14m and we do milk in sippy in morning and water etc throughout the day. The last babbbby baby routine I have is 8oz milk in bottle with cuddle time before bed. Then he plays a bit and then off to sleep. My question is when did u stop milk before bedtime? He really enjoys the routine and so do I but not sure if he's too old now for this? And if I do stop I am super afraid he won't get the clues for bedtime. Thoughts or suggestions?

Re: nighttime milk for toddler
I stopped the bedtime bottle with DD 1 right after her first birthday. instead of sitting in the recliner and drinking a bottle we sat in the recliner and read a book - we still do to this day and DD is 3
DD 2 is 13 months and I am hoping to break the bedtime bottle habit in the next few weeks. We will again replace it with a bedtime book.
ETA- DD's still get milk three times a day ( breakfast, lunch and dinner) in a sippy cup as well as water

My 17mo still gets his milk in babas. He refuses to drink it I sippy cups. They're still just babies IMO, and milk is still important at this age.

Re: nighttime milk for toddler
My DS is 3 and still loves to have his milk. He doesnt get it to go to bed but he does get a cup after his nap (and still gets one when he wakes.)
If he wants it before bed give it to him, its good for him

Re: nighttime milk for toddler
My DD still drinks her nighttime milk at 20 months. I think drinking milk is important for her. She drinks it out of a straw cup and watches a show about 1/2-1 hour before bedtime.

Re: nighttime milk for toddler
Milk is fine at night. We transitioned from a bottle to a cup at 15 months. You just have to make sure that you brush their teeth after they finish and prior to going to sleep for the night.

Re: nighttime milk for toddler
My almost-4yo DS still has his milk in a cup with stories before bed and at "storytime" around 2pm. He's not a great drinker, so this way at least I know he is getting the 2 cups of milk.

A little before she turned 1. She gets milk as soon as she wakes up, with lunch, and around dinner time. Our bedtime routine is bath, PJs, book, sing a couple of songs, and bed.

I agree. DS is 16months and still gets a baba before bed. He drinks milk out of a sippy twice a day too. I am in no immediate rush to get rid of the last bottle and the dr said it was fine but to do it before two. I will probably give it a shot at 18 months. I feel like 12 months is so young to cut out all bottles even though that is the recommendation but thats just me!

Re: nighttime milk for toddler
DS #1 was almost 4 I think when we said good-bye to the night time bottle and DS #2 was 14 months younger as the older one through out all the bottles for the both of them at the same time :)
