    Flynn broke his (glass) bottle when he was about 28 months. Ollie still has his (at 19 months).

    I, on the other hand, had one til I was about 4. Turns out I used to get out of bed when my dad got up early for work and he got into the habit of giving me a bottle while he made his morning coffee. I don't think it ever occurred to him to wean me earlier LOL!

    My DS no longer has a bottle at all. His source of fluids is mostly water in a poptop bottle which he tends to retrieve himself and letting us know when he wants it
    We stopped around 13 months. He eats enough yoghurt and cheese to not need the milk and both of those are a better source of calcium. Milk takes too much other good stuff to break down IIRC.
