I love the idea of a ceremony. I think that's great.
Liddy came at 12 months still drinking 6 bottles a day. We have her down to between 2-3 a day right now. If she could she would never eat and just drink all her meals. I do not plan to transition her off quickly. Her pediatrician wants her off by 18 months. While she can take a cup I will keep her on the bottle until she lets me know she is done with it herself. I have recently been told by her that I am no longer allowed to hold her bottle. She does it on her own.
