I have a 9 year old son and I ignored everyone who thought I should take his BaBa(bottle)from him. I did ween him down to one at his nap and then at night, it was more of a calming thing for him I think. Mind you he was over 2 yrs. old.I know it sounds like he was too old but my Mom,who is gone now,told me not to worry he won't keep the baba forever she has yet to see a college student with one! He eventually weened himself and I also did the waiting game with potty training him too and it took 1 time and he didn't use a diaper again not even a nighttime one. He was almost 3, he was ready and I never pushed him into it or made it a neg. thing. I have friends who spent months trying but I think too early and that was their demise. Good Luck! I would LOVE to go back and hold him in my arms while he drinks his baba once again! I feel they grow out of stages so fast, enjoy each even if it seems a little too long.They'll let you know when it's time!
