How can i stop my son from feeding bottles,he's turning 5...

I think he is way too old to be drinking from a bottle. he should be drinking from a regular glass or at least a sippy cup by then. I would just sit him down, and explain to him that he needs to be a big boy and that you need to take away all the bottles, maybe tell him that some other little baby boy needs to use them, and that it would help the little boy a lot if he could use your sons bottles. I know its kind of lying, but maybe he might think about it, and if that does't work you could always just take them away from him. i know it'll be a lot of crying and he will think you are the meanist thing on earth for a while, but eventually he will get used to it. What happens next year when he starts school and he's still wanting a bottle ? the kids will make fun of him :/ and especially in this day and age, the last thing he needs is to be made fun of so early in life, it may stick with him forever. so even if you think you are being mean about taking it away, you realy are helping him out in the long run.

throw the bottles out and oly give him a plastic or glass cup. hes way too old and it can ruwen his teeth

just decrease the use of bottles from day to day and teach him to use glasses and spoon little by little so that the kid won't be surprised of such change

My son is only 14 months and we're having trouble getting him interested in a sippy cup. He doesn't understand the whole "big boy" thing yet though. By 5, he should be way past the whole "baby" thing. I'd say just go cold turkey with him. He can have a glass of milk with his meals just as easy as a bottle. He'll have a really hard time in kindergarten with a bottle! LOL!

You have to just put your foot down NOW! I though my son was too old when he stopped the bottle he was 21/2! I used the old Bottle fairy came and took away all the babas! I said this to my son and never gave him a bottle again. I had to finally stop giving in to him! So just do it in a couple months you'll be glad you did!

water water water.....if you put something plain in it he wont want it.sure he might get angry and toss it a few times but he will finally see he aint getting nothing interesting in it.or you could invest in a sippy cup with a character on it he likes.when you first start off-you use it.make it like its a game.say something along the line"mmm this sure is good,you wanna try?"

I remember when my son was younger. He would not give up his bottle. He ate well, but it could have been somewhat better, so I asked our doctor what to do. He told me (and I did this) to sit our son down and tell him that every time he threw his bottle at me or threw a temper tantrum and tossed his bottle, that bottle was getting thrown in the trash and he would just have to use a cup. It only took three weeks for him to "throw out" all his bottles. He adapted to a sippy cup very well actually and even started eating better, probably because he was not so full of liquids that his stomach could handle more food. I'll never know if he actually understood what I said when I told him what the consequence of throwing his bottle was going to be, but the result was what was needed. Good Luck!!

what i do with my son for supper is i dont let him have anything to drink right before, and he doesnt get anything to drink during supper either that way he will eat at least most of his food instead of filling up on liquids instead.
