OT : Need tips on weening DD from her bottle

[Mouse House Mama]

I just came across this tread and wanted to thank everyone for all the great advice. I have been giving my DD(9 months) the sippy cup for a few months now. She wants nothing to do with it. It either gets thrown at me or dumped. I just took her for her 9 month check up this week and her Doc said she should be off the bottle by a year old.

The thing is she prefers drinking from a straw better then anything. She will sit there with the child cup that has a straw(like the ones from the Disney Store) and sip from it. She has been doing it for months. When I told the doctor he said stick with the sippy cup. I guess I'll keep trying!

Just wanted to tell you IMO Mom knows best. I wouldn't worry about Doc's advice on this one. If your DD wants a bottle then don't worry about it. Give it to her. The doctor is just giving an opinion. It is not a medical matter. Good luck!
