Hi, My son's turning 1 next month and I was wondering when did you cut out your child's bottles and change to sippy cups?
And when you switched from formula/breast to cows milk?
Was it A long process or did you completely cut out formula and bottles at A certain age?
Did you start with using fullcream milk in cereals and meals or just got straight to milk in A bottle?
Did you water down the cows milk to begin with and slowly wean to just cowsmilk?
Any feedback appreciated

my dd started on sippy cups at about 5 or 6 months for water/juice and she got rid of her bottle completely by age 1 and just had sippy cups.
my dd came off formula at around 8 months old due to allergies, she was on neocate but by 8 months just solids, she didnt start on cows milk until about 2 years old, a child with no allergies though is fine to go to cows milk at 12 months old, normally you would water it down for a few weeks before going to all milk.
For me it wasn't a long process i just cut out bottles. Some bubs do get attached to their bottles though and will only drink milk from a bottle
HTH
My 3 DS all used a sippy cup for water from about 6 months and then once they were able to hold it and drink confidently from it themselves at about 10 months I just switched their morning bottle first of all to a sippy cup then after a few days all of them into the sippy. With regards to changing to cows milk I didn't water it down and they were fine.

Keiara stopped formula around 14 months, She didn't like cows milk to begin with so I had to mix it with formula slowly till there was no formula in the bottle.
She started a sippy cup around 18 months.
