Giving up bottles - how does that work?

[monkey-lamb]

I plan to do CLW with my 10 month old DD, but I am curious as to when and how she will give up the bottles she takes during the day while I am at work. She used to take 20 ounces a day in 4 5-ounce bottles. In the past month or so she has reduced her daily consumption to closer to 10-13 ounces, but I believe she is nursing more at night and on weekends to compensate. As it stands, her nanny has a really hard time getting her to take a bottle.

At what point do I stop giving her bottles during the day and only nurse her? She is eating some solids at lunchtime. Should I start offering her BM in a cup with her solids? I am just a little unsure how to proceed. I certainly do not want to force her to drink more than she wants, which is why I did not freak out when her daily consumption decreased and why I was a little concerned when yesterday it suddenly shot back up to 18 ounces. On the other hand, I want her to continue using BM for the bulk of her calories. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

My dd stopped wanting bottles at around 16 months iirc. She was having 5x 4 ounce bottles until then, but stopped asking for them and only drinking a little when they were offered at around 14 months. She nursed (nurses in fact) a lot though, but reached a stage where getting milk from source was more important than getting milk if that makes sense. She'll be 4 next month and shows no signs of slowing down at all, which I was very worried about when she stopped wanting bottles when I was at work. Working mother's guilt is never-ending it seems.
