When did your kids stop taking a bottle?
As I posted on another thread, D is a great eater. (He's 10 months old.) He eats a wide variety of foods and has a good diet. BUT - he has very little interest in his bottle. I think if I stopped giving him a bottle today, he wouldn't care.
I know he's going to stop taking formula in a couple of months anyway, but I'm worried that he's not getting enough iron and other nutrients because he sometimes drinks less than 14 oz a day. I mix it into his oatmeal sometimes. I've also tried putting it into a cup for him, but he doesn't like that. He wants water.
I'm guessing this is fine and I should just take cues from him. But I just didn't expect him to be refusing a bottle so early! Do you think I should ask his pedi about putting him on a multivitamin? At what age did your kids start staying, "No thanks, mom."
