A few of us were talking about giving milk at bedtime and most of the girls said they don't give it anymore. It never occured to me to cut it out, for me its part of our routine as soon as Ava sees it she runs to me for a cuddle and then goes upstairs with David to bed. Is there a reason you should cut it out? Ava hardly eats as it is without taking more calories away from her

I dont think there is a reason to stop
Izzy hasn't had a bottle of milk for a long time but she has supper, either cereal or porridge - so gets some milk - cos she doesn't really drink much milk in the day otherwise!

No, I wouldnt cut it out unless she decides to.

Aimee cut hers out in an instant as soon as Lily was born (oddly), but I have no intention on cutting out Lily's until she does it on her own. If she doesnt, then she can carry on having milk at bedtime for as long as she likes x

Tyler still has milk at bed time. He has his milk then goes up for his bath. Sometimes he doesn't want it sometimes he wolds it down but I always offer it to him he needs the extra calories too lol.

Callum still has milk before bed he wont go to bed without it. He doesnt drink too much milk so i like him too carry on having it for now xx

Cerys still has hers and will drink around 9oz (still from her bottle too). She has juice and water in her cups in the day xx

Umm neve give it to paige. but don't see why.you should cut it out if she likes.it. paiges doesn't have.milk before bed but has it every morning still x

Both my two have milk morning and night and they love it and can have it as long as they want

xx

both mine have a cup of milk before bed and when they wake up, im never going to stop it until they stop wanting it x

Hayden still has a 9oz bottle of milk every night and every morning. Otherwise he doesn't have milk. Like the others have said he can have as long as he wants. I did try transferring him to a beaker rather than bottle but he wouldn't drink it

Ellie has her z9oz bottle as soon as she wakes and then another 9oz at bed time, she absolutely loves her bottle and I'll carry on for as long as she wants it

i doubt alfie will ever stop drinking his bedtime milk. he loves it and still drinks it in a bottle too. he has 9oz on a morning and 9oz on a night and always drains both x

finlay is the same he love his bottles of milk in the morning and evening and like ava he eats next to nothing so i am quite happy that he is getting the extra calolries too x

C still has milk morning and evening, ive switched her to a cup now but im not cutting the milk. Same as Ava she doesnt eat enough

Sophs still has bedtime milk in a beaker. She has been drinking less lately but then she does that and then drinks down a full beaker to catch us out!

I think my nephews still had milk at bedtime till they were about five, just as they got older, what they had it in changed.

I do wait until after the milk to brush her teeth though as apparently tis very sweet and can be bad for teeth to linger in mouth over night. Saying that though, I do it soon after milk so probs just as bad.

benji was the biggestmilkoholic ever...then when he hit a year old, he gradually just stopped drinking it...he doesn't have a morning bottle of milk anymore- he'd rather drink a bottle of juice/water...
then he'll maybe have 5-7oz on an evening and that's if he's not too tired!!
i'd say give the bottle of milk to ava for as long as she wants it it's only goodness afterall
