The Bottle

12 months right? That's the limit.

I am here to admit that my eldest boy is nearly 17 months and still taking one bottle before I lay him down for bed. ( lots of frowns and gasps from reader)

Okay, okay so here are my excuses.

1. I weaned Aiden from the breast at 13 months. Weaning from the bottle at the same time seemed a bit harsh.

2. At 14 months I gave birth to my 2Nd son and that was change enough. I didn't want to take any comfort away when he had to start sharing mommy.

3. I'm over books. I'm a feels right kinda gal these days. It just has not "felt" right to me, yet.

4. I don't want my little darling to grow up to quickly.

5. I also transitioned Aiden from co-sleeping to crib between 12-13 months. Too much change!

So now that my boy is nearly 17 months and my maternity leave is coming to an end I know that I have to wean soon.

I'm curious when other mothers are weaning from the bottle. Did anyone else have trouble with this? Did you wean your little one cold turkey?

I don't know what I'm waiting for. I suppose I'm waiting for me to be ready because I don't think that he would miss the feeding much at all! It's the only time I can get the boy to sit still on my lap these days!
