DD is 15 months and still getting 3 bottles a day--at wake up, before nap and bedtime. I tried to offer her milk in other cups around 12 months but she wasn't having it so I just held off making the switch. I would offer milk in a straw cup during meals and she just recently started drinking from it, maybe an ounce at each meal. She drinks water from a straw cup no problem. Her pediatrician wants her completely off bottles by 18 months so I guess I need to get on it! A few questions:

1. Did you offer milk to replace the bottles? So continue to offer milk in a sippy or straw cup at wake up, before nap and at bedtime?

2. Did you offer milk in sippy/straw ONLY at mealtimes?

3. Did you use sippy or straw? Since DD is already drinking from a straw I wonder if it's better to stick with it instead of introducing something new? Although the sippy might be easier since it resembles the bottle more?

Would love to hear your bottle weaning stories and advice! Thanks!!!!
