Is 2 years old too old to still be drinking from a bottle?

The recommendation from our pediatrician was to switch from bottles to sippy cups at the same time that we switched from formula to cow's milk, which was a 1 year. This way, our son understood (or seemed to) that formula came in bottles and milk in sippies. He took to sippies and milk with no problem whatsoever.

I think the earlier you do things the easier it is - my cousin's son turned two recently and he's still on the bottle and pitching a fit when they try to transition him to a sippy.

relies upon. If the youngster is largely ingesting from a bottle, then i'd say that is kinda unusual. yet when the bottle is barely for mattress situations and nap situations and stuff, i'd say it really is not any longer that wide of a deal. My daughter became utilising a bottle for mattress time, till about 2 and a 1/2. she will be 3 next month, and the bottles are lengthy gone and function been for months now. some youthful ones supply them up, and some do not. I quite have a higher challenge seeing 4 12 months olds with Dummy's stuck of their mouths at the same time as out procuring even with the actuality that. . . :)

My 1st daughter was still drinking a bottle before she would go to sleep when she was two, which I thought was okay. But then I noticed her molars were getting a dark spot on them and I took her to the dentist. The teeth were decaying and she had cavities on almost all of her teeth. She had to have her whole top row of teeth covered with crowns as well as all of the molars on the bottom row. Don't get me wrong-- she definately would brush her teeth two times a day, but the thing is many times she would drink the bottle and then fall asleep and I couldn't clean the teeth, because I didn't want to wake her up. Boy, did I regret that! I felt so bad that she had to have all of the dental work done. But after that, I made sure that my second girl who was 1 at the time, stopped drinking from the bottle. So, in my experience I think it's a good idea to wean them as soon as you can for their teeth.

I had my daughter off the bottle when she was a couple months past her 1st birthday. I would give her juice in a sippy cup around 10 months... jus so she could start to get the hang of it. It's bad because the child can get tooth decay

Honestly, when my daughter was 9 months old, she "moved on" to sippy cups and drinking with straws in a regular cup (of course, with our assistance).... When I saw that pic of Suri drinking from a bottle on the magazine, I just couldnt believe it! These celebrities have plenty plenty plenty of money and still have their kids on bottles! Its amazing though...cuz Ive seen other celeb kids on bottles, being older, too.

It is a little old, babies should be off the bottle a few months after they turn one and then should be drinking out of a sippy cup...but everyone has different parenting skills.

I don't want to criticize Suri or her parents, cuz like someone else said, to each his own. But my personal preference was to have my daughter off the bottle by then. She was off at 16 months old, and I felt that was too late compared to other kids and parents, but I was comfortable with it. We also got rid of the pacifier by age 2, I don't think kids age 2 and up need a bottle or pacifier, my daughter was showing ME signs of her not needing them by then on her own.

to each their own.

my son was no longer on the bottle. i think it looks ugly for a big kid to be drinking from a baby bottle, but i don't really care. its not hurting me.

suri cruise got money like its nothing. she will be able to afford to fix her teeth later in life.

I think that you need to start to take baby off b/c my brother stopped earlier than 2, you dont want baby to have bad teeth.

yes that is to old they should be off the bottle around a year old.
