How old was your LO when you took away the bottles

    13 months cold turkey. We tried gradual at 12 but she was not having it and was too stubborn. She was over it in a week, after naps were the worst.

    @Smurfette: we haven't had any issues yet! Not even with overflow milk in the straw, because there's a + cross suction on the straw end!

    @coacheswife123: This is our dilemma. LOs are 15 months, and I've TRIED to get rid of the bottles, and it's just not happening. Epic fits. I am going to keep trying, but I figure that they're not going to be on bottles forever, and I'm just going to take my time and not stress out about it. They'll be done when they're ready to be done. They take water out of their sippys like champs, it's just the milk that they have problems with. Sigh.

    We started the transition around 11 months, and took them away completely right after he turned a year old. He preferred regular cups to sippy cups. He took to it really well though, we never switched from newborn nipples and I think he really liked the fast flow of the cup.

    @Smurfette: i'm not sure if they sell it at target--i bought them on amazon. i should mention that they're not perfect, like the straw can get a little pushed down (not all the way) so that i have to pull it back up, but in terms of leaks this has been my favorite. hope you find something you like!
