Daniel is now nearly 11 months old and is still on 3 bottles a day (AF). (As well as lots and lots of solid food - he's an eating machine).

He has a sippy cup for water, so the formula is the only thing he is drinking from a bottle.

When I was going to mother's group months ago, the CHN said that we should aim to have them off bottles by 12 months - but I can't realistically see that happening.

When Daniel went to Day Care the other day I said to his carer, "Not long and I should have him off these bottles." She sort of looked at me funny and said (in short), "He's only a baby still. He can keep having his bottles if he wants them."

So, now I have conflicting advice - as per usual - and have no idea whether Daniel will be mentally scarred (joke) by having bottles past 12 months.

I've had a look on the side of the tin and it recommends that bottles still go from 12 to 24 months - but I'm aware of the marketing implications of that.

What does anyone else think/do?
