Why do you want her to stop using the bottle?

Glad she is taking to the sippy cup. My 3 kids have all been very different. #3 is still using a bottle at night but refuses to take one during the day, he is 18mnths. Im not fussed as I know he will give it up when he is ready.

Glad she is starting to like the different coloured sippy cup

I have 3 children and they all weaned at different times. Until the age of 5yrs, young children develop at different rates, and unless you are particularly concerned about her behaviour, I would say don’t rush her. Hope you find this helpful. Cheers Gill

Oh I think what is the rush, my daughter had a bottle only at night until she was 2. I think if she is getting her milk that way, how does it hurt. And especially if she likes it.

I agree with these ladies by taking the bottle away completely. Place a couple of cups with straws one for water and one with milk. Your little person will get thirsty and drink from them with out issue. It helps if you have a cup too. Just say that’s Mum’s. Kids copy what we do all the time.

Remove all bottles and buy a couple of different sipper cups (styles) and leave them near her. She will then drink when she is thirsty. It might take a day or so but she will not go for long without. Don’t make a big deal out of it just say the new babies at the hospital need them now and she is a big girl who can drink out of a big girl bottle.

Thanks so much ladies for your assurance and help. =) I bought her a nice sippy cup with lots of colors that she now finds interestinG!

keep using the straw, my twin girls love using the straw!

I agree I think she’s still young, however if you want her to drink from a cup use tough love & only offer her a cup or cup with straw.

Although my girl is autistic she weaned off a bottle to a straw cup still have no luck with anything that requires tipping up but there are so many great straw cup out there im not to concerned. I wouldnt stress to much when they ready they will let you know…i know older kids who still have bottles!

It is hard taking bottles away ,We tried only giving bottle at night .But ur child is stir young so don’t worry to much .

I have just weaned my 2 year old by accident. We had run out of formula so I put almond milk in his bottle and he wouldn’t drink it. For the next two days every time he asked for a bottle I filled it with almond milk and he stopped asking. If she loves almond milk I guess this wouldn’t work, but you could try something else she doesn’t like the taste of.

I went a purchased a cup that my daughter loved. It was her special cup. & used a straw. After a little while she didn’t want the bottle anymore. We made it fun by using different coloured straws, curly straws etc.
