How can i ge t my 1year 10 month old baby off drinking milk, but mainly getting her off the bottle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Put water in it: Toddlers that age believe they are queen of the world & get to do what they wish. A bottle provides sameness/comfort but also provides a tasty reinforcement every time they use it. Remove the reinforcement & only offer milk from a cup & they abandon the bottle. It may take a few days & tantrums but it works.
