When did you start putting your LO to bed.
I guess what I'm asking is, when did you start going from dinner to bath to just bed, no bed time bottle.
I REALLY like this last *baby* ritual, and don't want to give it up, SO I need to stall H awhile longer. I think she'd be fine, because she'll go down at nap time w/o a bottle. But I'm not sure when to drop the last bottle. El is 11mths today! (SAD!) I want to keep her my baby as long as I can!
Re: When did you start putting your LO to bed.
at 12 months we started trying to wean from the bottle...the first week after he turned one we got rid of the AM bottle then worked for the next week or two on getting rid of the night time bottle. He doesn't even notice now! Although he is waking up at 5am STARVING so that sucks.

I just gave Nicholas one until he didn't want it anymore. For him it happened to be around 11mos. I was a little sad at that age too.
I say let her tell you when she's done with it.
Thanks ladies! I think I'm going to keep it up until she doesn't want it anymore. Thankfully she does!!!
I mean she has been not wanting them throughout the day. So maybe she likes the extra mommy snuggles too!
