Hello, its up to you, my daughter was one when I got rid of her bottle although at this point she was only having a bottle before going to bed. I bought her a new feeding cup and explained that now she was a big girl she could drink her milk out of a big girls cup and luckily she accepted it with no problems. Every one has different ways though and thinks babies should get rid of bottles at differet times I dont think there are any fixed rules or ways. Good luck x

HI I HAVE A 26 MONTH OLD SON WHO STILL REFUSES TOLET GO OF THE BOTTLE BUTAND ABSOLUTELY ADORES HIS MILK. I BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL GIVE IT UP WHEN THEY ARE GOOD AND READY. HE REFUSES POINT BLANK TO DRINK IT UOT OF ANTHING ELSE AND JUST SCREAMS IF YOU GIVE HIM IT IN A CUP!!

hi...my son was about 2 when he gave his bottle up, he only had it once at bedtime for his milk, really i think its up to them, i cant really see what harm it does. My second is 19months old and wont give up either his dummy or bottle (again only has it at night for his milk!) and i think ill do the same just wait till he is ready!you could try putting her milk in a beaker see how she reacts..Good luck!

im in this same predicament but she does try to drink out of our cups which always looks cute and she is fine with a sports bottle so i was pondering switching her to the sports like toddler bottles.she doesnt like the next stage teat things and will have a sip and then ask for bocboc.
not wanting to change things too much for her with my baby due in 4 weeks time.i think thats going to be a big enough change as it is.starting to familiarise her with a potty not use it just know what its for sort of thing.

hi my daughter is 15months and onli has a proper bottle at night bt during the day she drinks out of a fruit shoots type of bottle (if u no wt i mean) woz worried bout her teeth bt she wont drink out of a regular beaker
