I want to get my baby off bottles but she’s still really dependent on them before bedtime and drinks 8oz of milk right before falling asleep. She doesn’t always leak but has super full diapers by the time she wakes up. But unlikely we’ll make it a week without a leak on the trip. I’m hoping with all the new stuff and excitement it’ll help her sleep well.
If you have time to wean before you leave (and want to), what worked for us to drop that last bottle was cutting the amount by 1 oz every week. I think she went from a 6 oz bottle of formula to no bottle within 4 weeks? She stubbornly held on to that bottle much longer than I would have preferred. We started weaning her at 16 months and by 17 months we were bottle free.
