Do you mean that your are still giving him
forula and want him off of it or you are
giving him cows milk and don't want him
drinking it from the bottle? All I can
tell you is what my sister did and what my
midwives have told me. A baby can have
cows milk when they are a year old and it
is a paretal choice of whether to stop
this or just transfer it to a cup really.
Danil is two and has a bottle of cows milk
when he's not feeling well of really tired
only because he hates drinking milk from a
cup. At the end of the day it is your
choice how your choose to feed your baby

I'm going to play it by ear but i'm
planning on introducing a sippy cup at
around 9 months (and by "play it by ear" I
mean I might try earlier but no later!).
I'd like him to be completely off the
bottle by 12 months.
The binky will be gone by 9 months too.

My sister tried to get faith dummy from
her at 6 months, thats the recomended time
to stop breastfeeding too because
apparently if you do it at 6 months they
don't remember ever having a dummy of
being breast fed. She was unsucesfull
though because she kept one for her to
have at night because she didn't settle
well and whenever she cried daniel used to
go upstairs and get it for her

.I don't buy into that with regards to the
breastfeeding. I will do it until she's
moved on to a sippy cup and not before.
Breastmilk is very healthy and nursing
isn't something filthy that I should
shield her from remembering. Besides, do
you remember anything from when you were 8
months old? How ridiculous.

sorry total complete utter bull crap -
there is no recommended time to stop
breastfeeding and there is no good reason
to cut off breast milk only to go on to
formula.

i put .Oni on a sippy cup at 6 months.
Now, I switch from the 'nuby' one that .K
had, to a regular sippy cup.
I'll put formula in it sometimes, but
mainly it's water. She can't get enough
of water!
But the binky is something we're working
on now, actually. When she falls asleep,
I go in and take it out of her mouth.
She'll go from 9pm - 5am good without
it...But if I wanna catch a few more
zzz's, i'll let her have it.
Other than that, she really doesn't want
it. It's literally our last option!
I, personally, do not want her on a noonie
any longer because it can cause speech
delay and bucked teeth (before anyone says
it's their baba teeth, it won't have an
affect, tell your dentist that..).

I let tre keep his pacifier until he was
one, because I was just paranoid of
.S.I.D.S, most doctors say that if the
baby sleeps with a pacifier up to one year
that it can prevent .S.I.D.S, because it
kinda of keeps the baby in a light sleep
and kinda keeps them alert (i know I am
not explaining this good).
Anyway when he turned one and I tried to
take it away it was hell...Many sleepless
nights full of crying.
Edited to add: I never really got it from
him until he was 2 yrs, because after the
2nd night of crying I would just give up
and give it back to him.

I'm just saying what my leaflet said, I
got a leaflet about breastfeeding,
although I think that was for if you don't
want you baby to get too attached to you
breastfeeding them if you want to go back
to work or allow others to feed them

that is the exact reason I want her off of
it!! She never really goes to sleep cuz
she's too damn busy chewing/suckin on her
noonie!! Hahaha!
I choose the .Ferber .Method, so if she
cries, she cries.So, i'm sure I won't have
a problem with her crying when I
permanantly remove it.

well it didn't cause tre to have bucked
teeth, but that is probably because he
only used it at night. I think the
bucked teeth come into play when the child
has it in their mouth all the time.

i've heard that too so i've been trying to
get finn to sleep with his. Maybe it'll
change as he gets older but as of now the
binky doesn't stay in his mouth while he's
sleeping, it always falls out not long
after he's dozed off.
Also, doesn't the risk of sids go way down
after about 4 months when they're more
mobile?

if that's what your leaflet said, please
specify that when you post the information
the first time. Because as a
breastfeeding mother, I was highly
offended by what you said. My daughter is
more likely to remember breastfeeding when
I am nursing her younger brother or sister
than from me nursing her past 6 months.
There is such a stigma surrounded
breastfeeding like it's a disgusting act,
something to be ashamed of, something to
never do in public, and something to never
do past suchandsuch age. It makes me
sick, and I am very sensitive to those
kinds of things.

why don't you want your baby to have
one?
Babies like to suck. I'd rather have my
baby suck on a paci than stick a bottle in
his mouth or ignore him.
I find it amusing that people in the uk
call it a dummy. I'm assuming it's a uk
thing, i've never heard it called that
here.

Danni, you need to do a lot of reasearch
and make your coices very very carefully,
because right now you're coming off as
more than a little clueless.
It won't be long before that baby is born
and you want to get a big chunk of
learning out the way before baby arrives
because gosh knows you'll have plenty to
do after anyway.

i cannot stand to see 3/4 year old with
noonies! I saw a pic of some celeb and
their *old ass kid* was not only in a damn
stroller, but he had a noonie in his
mouth!!!!!!!
To the parents who did without the paci!
Much props!! But uhhh, that sh't saved my
life when she was small.
My friend was all proud to tell me that
her daughter didn't use a noonie, yet her
daughter *cannot* go anywhere
without "bunny"...
She chews on it's ears and it's stinky,
funky!!! Thank .God my girl washes
it every week! Pew ew!!

if that is your opinion then fine but
belive me I am not clueless about
pregnancy, two years of studying child
care and development and accheiving a's in
my coursework, my sister having two kids
and me living at her house for 6 months
doesn't make me clueless. I am truely
sorry for offending anyone on my comment
on breastfeeding I was only repeating what
a leaflet I was given said and then
realised after I had posted that I may
have offended some people and thought I
would add in that this could perhaps be
aimed to mother's who want to go back to
work early or for any other reason do not
want to breast feed for any longer. I
myself am going to breastfeed for up to a
year or whenever I am advised it would be
good to stop and I will only stop if I am
ready, my baby is ready or for some
unknown reason it would be safer for me
now to.
Kia, I know that you are a really nice
person I have seen it form all of your
posts both replying to me or other people
and I think you are an amazing person and
woud like to think that me and you could
of been friends if we met out of the
internet and I do value your opinions
however I did take offence to this one.
Okay so I may not know every detail about
pregnancy and young children but some of
these things are only learn't when your
become a parent. I do not think for a
second that you meant to offend me but I
do have many people that dom's mother has
told lies about me to, shout at me in the
street saying I must be really stupid to
be doing this etc and that I must be a
failure at school, however I am not I am
acheving in all of my subjects above a c
grade.
Sorry for the lot of writing

What we have a problem with, .Danni, is
you passing on little tidbits of
information you heard/read somewhere as
fact, when you only have a
passing knowledge of what you're talking
about.
Such as your comment about breastfeeding.
You said that it is recommended to stop
after 6 months so that the baby won't
remember it. That is such a crock, and it
isn't fair for you to say those things and
upset the breastfeeding women on here.
Because number one, that is not a fact,
and number two, you took your leaflet's
information out of context.
What .Kia is suggesting is that you
educate yourself on these things, and what
I am suggesting is that you don't pass on
these tidbits of information unless you
say ".I heard somewhere... But I might be
wrong" first. And better yet, to make
sure what you're saying isn't untrue
before you offend people.
