Did everyone transition from bottles? How did you?

Question

Honestly, I haven’t tried very hard to switch him from using his bottles. He relies on them to go to sleep. I’ve tried using a cup a few times but he will not have it for his bedtime milk. Are there any good transition options? Should I just quit him cold turkey?

Answer

It was cold Turkey here. We went out of town for the weekend and MOM 😬 packed the bottles but forgot to put the tops in the bag with them. Sooooo it was snippy cup or nothing. He didn’t even bat an eye. I think that the “routine “ was already off he just rolled w it.

Answer

We use Munchkin straw sippy cups

Answer

My daughter never took bottles however, she would only take a straw cup in the beginning. If it is just at bedtime, I wouldn't worry about it unless your dentist and pediatrician aren't concerned.

Answer

I tried a beaker with a soft teat and my son wouldn't take it. So we went cold turkey. Once the bottle was gone there was no going back. He soon got the message!

Answer

Cold turkey.  I went out and bought various sippy cups.  Tried them all.  Now she loves the straw kind.  They make sippy cups that look similar to a bottle.

Answer

I don't have great first have experience because my May baby never took bottles and I've never given them a drink to take to bed, but I just stopped offering them to my oldest at 1 year. 
He did have a friend that wouldn't take milk from a cup, and Dr brown's(I think) had sippy cup nipples. So the bottle was the same but instead of a nipple it was shaped like a sippy cup lid. That helped him transition to regular cups.
