Other cups he just didn't drink that much from. He did get a bedtime boggle til 18m. I thought he would freak over it but it was sort of natural, he just didn't take much from it anymore. </p> <p>DS2 we were nursing and he got an occasional bottle. When we weaned I didn't give bottles to replace and he was fine! But he was pretty into milk by that point (13.5 m). He's 15m and if he's really sick and wakes at night I'll still offer a bottle to calm him, but that's rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-break-the-bottle#post-2506125 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:01:27 +0000 ShootingStar 2506125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just took them away, one by one. I replaced them with sippies or straw cups and he didn't drink much at first but he figured it out. He never really objected to them though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-break-the-bottle#post-2506059 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 19:10:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2506059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have him more milk at dinner in the sippy cup and eventually less and less milk in the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-break-the-bottle#post-2506045 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 18:56:29 +0000 Alba4 2506045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched to a Nuk sippy. My DS didn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-break-the-bottle#post-2505989 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 17:43:06 +0000 KT326 2505989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to find a sippy cup with a spout that was similar to the bottle. After using that for a couple weeks I tried a regular sippy cup and he was fine with it. We actually didn't use sippy cups for that long, we switched to a straw cup for milk around 18 months. (We didn't start bottle weaning until 15 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-break-the-bottle#post-2502752 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 17:30:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 2502752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD1 we cut the bottle cold turkey around 14 months, she went on a strike for about a day and then gave in and used the sippy cup. DD2 is way more stubborn and will not use a sippy cup at all. I give her one at meals and she just throws it on the floor. How did you break the bottle if you had a stubborn baby? </p>
