We went with wcm in bottles at their regular times, then transitioned to milk in bottles but only at nap at bedtime + offering in sippy cups at meals (they never drank the milk out of supplies when bottles were an option later!), then we went off bottles completely. Right now I offer cups of milk with meals, plus before naps and bedtime. They still nurse too, but I've always had low supply (at least, for two babies at the same time) so I don't know how much milk they really get from me. They are 17 months now.

We haven't done this yet with Logan, but I think with Xander, we just swapped out the bottle for a sippy cup at his normal bottle time. And then once he was completely on cups, we started just giving him milk with his meals instead of water (and water with his snack, which was around the original bottle time).

Hmm, we switched from bottles to straw- and open cups. We did WCM at meals and for snacks (unless he drank a lot of milk during meal time. Then, just water). I'd usually have him eat a bit first and then would bring out the milk, otherwise he'd chug it all down at first sight.

@regberadaisy: We skipped milk, and just offer water in cups at meal times, and try to have a sippy cup of water around the house for drinking while playing.

We took away all bottles except the night time bottle like 2 weeks after LO turned 12 months. What we do is milk in the morning with breakfast, water with lunch and dinner, and milk here and there if she hasn't eaten that much, and then a night time bottle. At day care they offer her milk and water with all meals/snacks.

We switched to sippy cups of milk at meals. He eats cheese and yogurt every day, so I don't stress about his milk intake. At our daycare I bring a clean sippy every day and they provide the milk.
