See You Later Bottle

Posted by Des at 2:58 PM
So I am weaning my 11 month old son off the bottle. I want him to be completely off the bottle by the time he is 13 months old because I'm sick and tired of bottles and formula and all of that stuff. On top of the weaning thing, I also am cutting out baby food and switching to feeding him just whatever we are eating for meals. Well, anyways, here is the plan of weaning and I have 6 weeks to make it work:



Week 1 (Down to 3 bottles):
Morning: bottle, oatmeal/fruit/waffles/toast (something)
Lunch: Sandwich or something like that- no baby food and no bottle
After Nap (around 4p): Bottle and a snack
Dinner: whatever we are eating
Right before bed: Bottle


Week 2 (Down to 2 bottles):
Morning: bottle, oatmeal/fruit/waffles/toast (something)
Lunch: Sandwich or something like that- no baby food and no bottle
After Nap (around 4p): A snack- No bottle
Dinner: whatever we are eating
Right before bed: Bottle


Week 3 (same as above)

Week 4 (Down to 1 bottles):
Morning: oatmeal/fruit/waffles/toast (something)- no bottle
Lunch: Sandwich or something like that- no baby food and no bottle
After Nap (around 4p): A snack- No bottle
Dinner: whatever we are eating
Right before bed: Bottle



Week 5 (same as above)

Week 6 (No More Bottles):
Morning: oatmeal/fruit/waffles/toast (something)- no bottle
Lunch: Sandwich or something like that- no baby food and no bottle
After Nap (around 4p): A snack- No bottle
Dinner: whatever we are eating
Right before bed: No Bottle


So this is the plan. Right now we are on Week 2 and it's going okay. There have been a few days where I gave him 3 bottles, but he's teething and not eating very well so I need to make sure he's getting enough nutrition.

Hope this helps someone!
