My DD just turned one last week and we haven't been to ped yet but have been transitioning her to whole milk over the past couple weeks. I just cut out two bottles so she only gets her morning and night bottle. I have half can of formula left to use then that's it. I think getting rid of the am bottle will be worse than night bottle. Any suggestions? Did you all just go cold turkey or put milk in their bottles for a bit. I need suggestions to get this bottle stuff done.

We are in the exact same boat as you right now... I didn't think we'd have any problems getting rid of the bottle because she has never seemed that attached to it but boy was I wrong.

She had always drank milk and water out of a sippy cup with no problem during her meals but the first morning I tried to sit in "our spot" with a sippy full of milk instead of a bottle she screamed like no tomorrow. So, after that adventure we've decided to wean slowly. I got rid of her midday bottle but she is currently getting milk in a bottle in the am and the pm. I will next get rid of the pm bottle because she seems less interested in that one.

I figure there is really no rush and I can wean her gradually over the next couple of months.
