We're still a couple of months away, but I'm curious about how others went about weaning off the bottle when they're LO's turned one. She LOVES her bottle, so I'm dreading it.
Did you slowly switch the bottle for a sippy cup? Did you put less in the bottle?

We did it cold turkey. I tried a few sippys but she wasn't into them so then I went for a straw cup. It was pretty stressful and she wasn't having very much milk for a few weeks but then she slowly started to drink more and more.

It took forever for us to find a sippy that was right - it had to be a soft spout but didn't flow too fast and he didn't like the ones that had to be bitten first. Once we did find the right one, we'd put half the milk in a sippy and half in a bottle and start with the sippy (only one meal in the middle of the day, not when he was starving hungry). We couldn't let my son see the bottle or the sippy wouldn't do no matter what. As he got used to trying a sippy we slowly increased the amount of milk and we always kept one around filled with water throughout the day.
