AnswerHow do I handle difficulty weaning off the bottle in a 2-year-old?
Move a two-year-old off the bottle gradually over two to four weeks: swap bottles for open or straw cups, keep the comfort the bottle gave (cuddles, story, routine), and drop the bedtime bottle last. Stay consistent through a few wobbly days. Seek a feeding and developmental check if your child gags, refuses nearly all cups, has very limited food textures, or mealtimes feel distressing.
