[quote=Anonymous]We were completely off bottles by 1 year. Around 10 months I replaced one bottle/day with a straw cup, 11 months another, 11.5 months another, and the last at 12 months. We introduced an open cup and sippy for water and sips of formula as early as we could just to give DC the idea of what to do and that liquid could come from things other than the bottle. By 10 months DC drank well from a straw after lots of practice. After the newborn stage I avoided feeding DC to sleep because I didn't want a milk-sleep association. The people I know whose kids were the hardest to get off the bottle were those who 1) fed the kids to sleep and/or 2) waited to introduce cups and transition. .[/quote]
