The time to say goodbye to the bottle



Most pediatricians recommend around the year for the child to leave the bottle or at the latest arrivals to 18 months. As our little child learns to drink the cup, you no longer need a bottle.


Unfortunately the final weaning is not always easy as often seems. To make things easier, it is best to start by removing the bottle in the afternoon and later in the evening and the morning, leaving at night to go, since it is the more costs to drop the baby.

If the child can not sleep or wake up suddenly at night, it's easy to get into the habit of using food or bottle for comfort. But at this age children do not need or eat or drink anything at night. If you still feed your baby at night should no longer do, even if the child cries and looks thirsty to drink, night shots are a form of comfort and not to meet their nutritional needs.


It is easy for the bottle becomes a double-edged sword , but we try to make the child sleep alone, and cries a little before falling asleep leaving until he falls asleep. After a few night forget the bottle completely.

On the other hand there is nothing wrong with giving the child something to drink before they actually lie surely help you sleep, but to go removing the bottle should be implemented at the time the use of glass.

Whatever you give the child before bedtime should always remember to wash his teeth, but the food and liquid remain in the mouth of your child all night, creating an ideal breeding ground for decay. If your child needs some comfort before falling asleep properly leave your side or let Teddy suck her thumb but do not run to prepare the bottle.
