Bottle?
Hi,
At what age are you supposed to stop using bottles and change to sippy cups/beakers for their milk? I guess the need to change is to protect their teeth.
Thomas has 6, nearly 8 teeth and wondered if I should think about replacing his TT bottles with beakers?
Anyone swapped yet?

I was thinking that I might try to change his afternoon bottle into a cup when he's about 10 months. At the minute, I'm trying to get him to take water better and don't want him to think that every time he gets a beaker, there's going to be milk in it.
So many things to think about xx
He only has 2 bottles a day as I BF in the morning and evening so I have no plans to swap to beakers for milk until I stop BFing completely, prob when he's about 1.
Eddison loves a beaker and drinks about 2 beakers of water a day! He still has milk in a bottle though, his gums are so sore with teething that I think it's a comfort thing. I'm going to switch to daytime beakers soon but I'll probably keep bedtime bottle until 1ish.

I believe with my eldest he stopped a bottle at about 12-15 months and we used a beaker non drip. He had one for milk and one for juice so he still knew the differenc.
Ps Ethan is 9.5 months and we still have no teeth!!
