Formula Milk at 1 year old, weaning them off it?
Hiya,
Ella is 1 next Thursday and she's still having 16oz milk each day.
4oz in morning
5oz at 2pm
7oz at 7pm
I've tried taking away the morning feed but she was not happy. And Ive already reduced the feeds as she was having a couple oz more with each bottle not long ago.
She still wants these feeds so how do I wean her off them?
Im happy for her to have the night feed until she is 2 but I thought a 1 year old doesnt need any more in the day? I dont remember this with my first baby
Is anyone else weaning their babies off formula?
xXx

Sometimes its just habit that they want the bottle and not actually that they ''need' it.
This is my first so Im by no means an expert but maybe try replacing it with something else and she might not even notice? My LO did the first time I tried so I left it for a couple of weeks and then when I eventually took it away she wasnt at all bothered.x
DD1 was not bothered either lol x
if they want it let them have it I say. Milk is good for them!!!
I was still having milk every day even when I was at school cause back in the 80's we were given it free at school
She also gets milk free in the mornings at school but I have to pay for it once she's 5 in Jan.
Ella will be having cows milk when shes 1
Will try taking away the 2pm feed today, see how we go xx
