moms of toddlers - bottle question

[cbavasi]

can you tell me when you stopped giving your baby a bottle at 9-10pm? i can't remember with my first and i think i should be dropping that feed soon (she's 9 months). just curious.... thanks!

hello again!

i think the recommendation is when your little one is eating solids well, the theory being that their tummies are full and can see them through the night. i cheated with my first baby and dropped it at 4 months before i'd even given solids and she slept through. but she was a dream baby. my twins are now 7 months and eating solids well (sort of) and one sleeps through some nights, and the other wakes at 3amish. so its all a bit random i think. they are still breastfed though, so its a bit hard to wake them to breastfeed as they just go right back to sleep while i hold them.

anyway, try dropping it after a day of good eating and see what happens.

hi!!!!
i was just thinking of you the other day - and thinking i should drop a line as it's getting a little bit closer to your move date. you're right on the feeding thing... she's sleeping through so i should really just drop it and see what happens (egads). will send email too to catch up!

hi all,
As everybody knows breastfeeding is beneficial to children. But bottle feeding is not bad at all. But bottle feeding should till some age after that kids should be able to take solid food easily. Then according to me we have to stop bottle feeding when kids are comfortable with solid food. It doesn't matter to age of children's but kids of at least 1 year should stop bottle feeding and having some teeth to crush the food.
Thanks & Regards
Dilip

personally, you should give breast milk as long as you can, and i am thinking of at least 2-4 years! yes, no joke, breast milk is best and you will know the benefits when your child grow up. i am a dad, i know best

milk is an essential part of growing up, therefore keep it up whenever they need it.

hi everyone - - this post is many months old now. my question was about dropping the 10pm feed - not bottle/breastfeeding. she's now 1 year and has dropped this feed. many thanks for your replies!
