As you may know, I also write occasionally for Your Celeb Source. A lot of talk has been going around about Suri Cruise still drinking from a bottle on various news sites so I wrote about it.
Both my boys self weaned before they turned two, one at around a year old and the other around 18 months. I admit that I never put much thought into weaning because it came naturally for us.
But, does it come naturally to all children? I haven’t met a child yet that doesn’t have a natural understanding of themselves. As parents, our job is to help guide the child as they grow and learn.
We began providing sippy cups to our boys around 9 months old as an alternative to the breast or bottle. Sometimes they would choose the sippy cup, sometimes the breast or bottle. As they got older, they choose the sippy cup more and more.
What do you think about weaning from the bottle or breast?
i weaned my kids from the breast at different ages… my daughter at 11 months while my son at 22 months… it was hard for the first night but it got better the following nights…
