Off the bottle at 12 months?

Hey, my son disided yesterday that he dosn't want the bottle anymore. He will eat solid food just fine, and it has to be solid like toast or pasta or carrot sticks, it can't be pureed or soup. He will just refuse. He will drink water and juice, but will push the bottle away with milk in it. Even if I put milk in a sippy cup he will push it away. I mean, he will even drink carrot juice, he loves it. Loves beef and chicken he can chew. He loves heathy things.
Is this normal? I'm a bit worried at the moment. He just turned 1 year old a week ago.

You're lucky, IMO! My daughter was 18 mo. when she finally got off the bottle, and my son just turned 15 mo. and still doesn't show hardly any interest in a sippy!

I would limit the amount of juice he's drinking, and continue to offer milk and of course water.

Took my daughter a while to really love milk, now she sucks it down with no problem. It's good that he's a healthy eater though.

It is normal for them to resist certain things but he really does need the milk, so keep offering it to him multiple times a day.

And he eats RAW carrots? How many teeth does he have?

I plane on weaning my son off the bottle at 12 months. When did you introduce a sippy?

Did you introduce cow's milk, or is he still on formula?

My daughter will be a year on the 23rd..she has been off the bottle since 10 months going on 11 months..I try to offer it to her and she perfers the sippy cup instead..

He dosn't drink fruit juice, he drinks carrot juice. And it's the same milk formula I always give him, he has always loved it, I don't know why he dosn't want it now.

Yeah he eats raw carrots. He has 6 teeth and he chews them like a pro.

I introduced a sippy cup to mine at around nine months. Diluted juice.

Still on todler fomula. same one he has been on for a while now. He loves it.

He started drinking from the sippy at about 6 months, and a bottle of a night. He is a very good drinker. He knows how to limit himself so he dosn't choke on it all. He learned fast.

Maybe he's trying to tell you he's ready? Talk to your pedi about starting him on it. I know the first time I gave my youngest whole milk, he stopped nursing he loved it so much.

My son LOVES cows milk, but I still want him to drink the formula becasue it has so many extra stuff in it.

wow! my daughter has 11 teeth and I know she's not patient enough to chew raw carrots well enough to not choke LOL you're lucky!
