By the time babies are between 9 and 12 months old, they're often ready to make the switch from bottle to cup. At this age, they're more interested in what's going on around them than they are in sucking on a breast or bottle. But phasing out the bottle this early means planning ahead. Here are some tips:
You can transition your baby from formula to whole milk by beginning to replace bottles of formula with bottles â or sippy cups â of milk. By 1 year old, your baby should be eating a variety of other foods and only 2-3 cups (480-720 milliliters) of milk per day. If your baby was put on a soy or hypoallergenic formula because of a milk allergy, talk to your doctor before introducing milk.
