How old should a baby be when you stop bottle feeding?

I literally stopped the bottle on their 1st birthdays with both of my kids. I introduced the sippy cup here and there for a couple of months before hand and on that birthday, they were done with bottles.

A baby should be introduced to a sippy cup at 6-7 mths and off a bottle at 12-15 mths. You are right her teeth are only going to buck more. Sorry but I think your SIL is just being lazy.

why is she going to keep bottle feeding, did she give a reason? Both of my boys weere off the bottle by the time they turned one. I can’t stand seeing big toddlers walking around with bottle, it drives me crazy! They’re are great sippy cups with soft spouts that work very well to transition off the bottle. But even with those it’s important that they don’t suck on them for comfort, especially at night. Bottles and sippys should only be used for thirst not comfort. It all seems a little strange to me that your SIL is noticing a tooth problem, but doing nothing to correct it (taking away the bottle). I don’t think it would hurt to say something, that way you can at least get a better understanding of the whole situation.
