Speaking of bottles...when do you stop giving a baby/toddler a bottle? Kohen hasn't had his 1 year check up yet and I have so many questions. He just now is able to use a sippy cup (kind-of). And I'm still giving him formula just because I don't know the rules about real milk. Can anyone help me? What have your pediatricians said to you? His 1 year check up won't be until he's almost 13 months old, so I'm just continuing with what I've been doing until I hear differently! (Oh, and you can see in the pictures the big bruise on his head is MUCH better!)

Well....we're still a few months away from the big O-N-E, but according to Matt they're supposed to be off of the bottle at one year. At our last pediatrician appointment, he told us to make sure we're only putting formula in the bottle...all the "good stuff" (juice, whole milk, water) goes in the sippy cup. That's supposed to make them want the sippy cup instead of the bottle. Also, you can switch from formula to whole milk at one year....assuming he's been on a formula that is cow milk based and has shown no problems.
Don't they look like such big boys holding their own bottles? :)
My friend Jennifer was told at Brody's one year that he should be off bottles. He can have cows milk in his sippy cup 3 times a day during meals. The rest of the time he has water in his sippy. He is so stinking cute holding the bottle though!
