My daughter just turned 1 year and 2 months old, and she's still drinking formula at night. When is it time to stop night feedings? I read that it can lead to "bottle rot" later on if they suck on the bottle for too long. How did you all handle this? Did you just stop, or did you replace it with water!? How do I even stop formula, and is it too early to stop it now? She weighs around 8 kg. The doctor initially said she wasn't gaining enough weight, so she should keep drinking formula, but then later said, "You're a year old now, you're big, it's time to stop formula" 🤷

My little one drank a bottle of formula at night until they were 3 years old 😄 Just transition them to food before bedtime, not during.

She's still little, let her eat when she wants.

Mama refused to switch to a sippy cup at 1.5, or have a denser dinner.

Ugh, it's scary to remember. We got to cavities... Lost two front teeth. If only I had been smarter back then and stopped breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. But honestly, I don't remember until when I nursed. I think I was a hero until 2 years old. 🥴🥴🥴🥴 Why?!

But I think at 1.2 years old it's still okay, you just need to brush teeth well.

Dentists say to stop night feedings after a year.
I don't know about formula, but my daughter didn't eat much solid food while breastfeeding. As soon as we stopped, she started eating better.

My son stopped eating at night when he was 1 year and 3 months old, and consequently started sleeping through the whole night. A couple of times, I offered him water at night, just a few sips, and he went back to sleep. If he had cried and couldn't fall asleep, I would have been ready to give him formula. But formula was still part of his nighttime diet for a good while.

I stopped giving it to my daughter when she was 1 year and 4 months old. I was tired of it, so I just stopped.
