As a mom who's been through the ups and downs of babyhood, toddlerhood, and everything in between, I know firsthand how much you rely on that trusty bottle to get through the day (and sometimes night!). A common question as a sleep consultant is, “When should we start saying goodbye to the bottle?” It's a milestone that’s both exciting and a little daunting. But don’t worry—making this change doesn’t have to be stressful! With a little understanding of when and why to do it, you can help your little one transition smoothly while supporting their overall health and development.
