Many mothers may not have paid attention, but there is a time limit for babies to use bottles. Many times, as long as the baby cries, parents will instinctively pass the bottle over, which makes the baby dependent on the bottle. So, can babies still drink milk from bottles at 27 months old?
Generally speaking, it is not recommended for babies who are already 27 months old to continue using bottles. Usually, babies should start quitting breastfeeding at 6 months old, and one year old is the best time to quit bottle feeding. At 18 months, it is necessary to completely quit bottle feeding. But if mothers who have been breastfeeding all along can skip the stage of using bottles and teach their babies to slowly use straws to drink water when they are 6 months old.
Because the longer the bottle is used, the greater the dependence and the more harmful it can be to the baby. Usually, babies start training to use water cups to drink water at 6 months old, and then gradually transition to using water cups to drink water at 9-12 months old.
The entire process of helping a baby quit using a bottle requires a lot of time and energy, so parents need to have enough patience and take it step by step. During the day, try to let the baby use a cup. If the baby cries, you can pick them up and pat their back, gently pat their head or hum a tune to comfort them. Try not to give the bottle.
