Moving away from bottles (esp for bedtime milk)

My boy loves his bedtime milk and still has it in a bottle. He’s also still waking in the night and won’t settle without a bottle most times. Tips for moving away from a bottle and any recommendations for what to switch to? Ideally I’d like another bottle for bed but he enjoys his Tumtum and a cup for day use

I’m still giving my one year old formula… is this ok?!

My baby is such a fussy eater and eats next to nothing no matter how hard I try to provide variety and make it a fun and positive experience! He does however really enjoy his milk so I’ve been continuing to give him 3 bottles of formula (sometimes 4) a day. Is this ok?!

Bottles

Formula - forgetfulness

Hey all, I was making a bottle for my 6 week old and after giving it to her I suddenly started questioning if I put 5 scoops of formula in like I was supposed to up to 150 ml or just 4… I know babies aren’t supposed to have water so it would be more diluted if I forgot a scoop and now I’m panicking… has anyone else ...

Milk for toddler on vacation

Hi! I am curious what moms gave their toddler to drink for milk on vacation. We're going to an all inclusive resort and baby girl has been drinking a mix of 2% and 3.35% milk before naps and bedtime. Did moms just ask for milk at the buffet? Or did you have a formula that was very close to the milk taste? Just tr...

Food/milk

I weaned my daughter at 4 months because she isn’t a fan of milk she is now on 3 meals a day how much milk would you still offer I am still offering it 3 times a day but she only ever takes in between 2-5oz depending on her on the day. I’m worried I’m either under feeding or over feeding.
