We received a long lecture as our punishment ( that's what my husband thought) from our baby's pedia when he brought her to the clinic last week. He asked us if Jadyn is drinking whole milk in a sippy cup now and I said, no formula in a bottle. He was kinda shocked when I told him that. So the long lecture began that it's not good, that we are late of taking the bottle away from our baby for three months, that it can cause ear infection blah blah blah and so on!
After that incident we tried very hard not to give Jadyn her bottle anymore even if she was not doing well with her eating at that time since she was sick. When she goes to sleep, she cries and asking for mamama...mamamama( means wanting her bottle of milk) but I resist. Honestly, it cuts my heart. She just look so poor doing that.
Today I am so feeling guilty, husband is not here and what am I doing? Sneaking a 4 ounces of milk formula and take note in a bottle and give it to my baby just to keep her quiet in the crib. She missed it I can tell. She grabbed it right away and suck! Hohohoho I am bad... I am so bad for not following the rule!

hala kaluoy [ud ni jadyn oi! i don't think nga kinahanglan jud pugson anne nga lutason sa bottle ang bata if she is still into it. she is not 2 years old yet, too early pa kaayo para i-wean sya sa bottle. akong pedia diri di man mo-demand ana. hehe... wawa si jadyn! :)
what... wla lagi ko ingni sa pedia sa akong anak 2 years old na cya but every night before he go to bed naga drink japon cya sa bottle pero 2% milk not formula...wla mn pud cya nagka ear infection... once a day raman sad cya naga use og bottle para pampatulog lng.
there is no scientifically proven time as to when to wean a baby from her bottle. I've reared five kids and they each had different weaning time. my eldest was weaned at 2 years old. just like you, i listened to the pedia and forced my eldest to stop using her bottle. my eldest is now a doctor but of all my kids, she is the least secured. one factor that contributed to that is that i forced her to stop her 'dede'.
just play it by ear. alternate the sippy cup and formula bottle. but! if you can stop her from asking for her formula at night time, the better as the milk acid brings havoc to the milk teeth.
