@MrsF: 12 months, but it was a struggle. We got rid of the bottle cold turkey! She drinks water from straw cups, but she'll only drink milk out of a sippy.

12 months; we're in the midst of this now and it is not going well. At all. He loves water out of a sippy or straw, but refuses milk from anything except a bottle. He will test the cup first - looks at it, takes a small sip, and if it's milk he will let it dribble down his chin and then throw the cup. If it's water he will continue to drink.

@jmarionsmith: He dropped bottles cold turkey at daycare last week, but has refused any milk there since. I agreed to ONLY give him a bedtime bottle at home, but I'm worried and have {secretly} been giving him a morning bottle before dropping him off. So now I'm worried and guilt-ridden!

12 months!

12 months when she started using a normal cup (cups that we use) she hates sippys and doesn't have alot of patience with straw cups.

We transitioned to soy milk at 12 months. At the time he was still getting breast milk in baby bottles, and I kept the two types of milk separate. Soy milk went into a straw cup, and breast milk stayed in baby bottles. Once I was finished with my frozen stash, I had to wean him off the bottle, which was surprisingly pretty easy.

We ditched the bottle cold turkey at 11m. We went to sippy & straw. He's almost 12m, and when he is, it'll be only cup & straw, no more sippy. We're all about cold turkey.

She's refused bottles since she was about 4 or 5 months old. She's been EBF since then. Around 6 or 7 months, we introduced the Zoli Bot and she did well drinking water from it, but would only drink milk if I nursed her. It wasn't until after she turned 1 that she would regularly drink milk from a straw cup.

She started using a regular cup around 18 months.
