Weaning off of formula?

My son's 10 months old. And I was curious as to when he should be weaned off the bottle? Ive heard so many different things, but Im not sure what to believe.

Weened off a bottle or weened off of formula? As far as weening off a bottle, you can start introducing a sippy now~ don't make a sudden change~ ease him into it. As far as formula, they should be on formula until they are a year old, again when I switched my daughter to milk from formula, I slowly added milk to her formula, until eventually it was all milk, that way she had time to get used to the taste.

Do you mean taking him off of it completely or switching to milk?

Taking him off of the bottle completly.
You can put formula in a sippy cup?
He uses the sippy cup now, but he associates that with juice or water and his bottle with milk.

If he only associates his sippy w/juice or water, you may have a problem with getting him to drink anything but that out of a sippy. When I switched Kate to a sippy, I did it opposite milk in a sippy, juice & water in a bottle (only because juice is sweet & usually don't have a problem getting them to drink that). I babysit a 19 month old, that once her mom switched her to a sippy she absolutely refused to drink milk~ all she drinks is water.

Oh boy. Well this should be an adventure then. I didn't realize it would be like that. Thanks
