16 month old still wants morning bottle
My 16 month old daughter still drinks a morning bottle. She screams and cries if it is not given to her. She refuses it in a sippy and refuses any food. She also will not drink milk in a sippy cup at all throughout the day only water. I give her cheese and yogurt and oat cereal for calcium. I'm concerned she won't get enough calcium, may get dehydrated without the morning bottle and people have been pressuring me to take it away from her just due to her age and development reasons.

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Certain things form child's habit and it takes time for them to give it up. As far as bottle is concerned better to stop it. Such small feed amount will not cause dehydration or low calcium. May be start more solid food.
