: This is kind of a poll. How old were your children when you took the bottle away? Any tips?

: My dd is 13 mos. and I'm working on getting rid of the bottle. I tried cold turkey, but can't do it yet. So we're doing it at nap and bedtime only. If it's not gone by 15 mos. then I will do cold turkey.

Hi,

I just weaned my son off of his morning bottle a week before his first bday, I instead offered him a sippy cup of milk (cold), and thank goodness he is taking it ok. Now at a year he is only having a bottle right before bed. He just loves this bottle and I really think it's more of a comfort thing for him. I will let him have this bottle for several more months and then try weaning him.
