When did you guys kick the bottle?

I can beat you all....I am not proud to admit that my CFer is 4 and will only drink milk from a bottle! Ya know what? We have so many other issues to deal with that this is the least of my worries. He is not babyish in any other way except this one. With a cup, he'll only take a sip or two. A bottle he guzzles down in one minute and his weight is great as a result! He only does it at home. He does drink everything else from a cup, just won't do milk

My daughter was 2.5 when we finally switched to drinking milk with a sippy. She drank water from a sippy long before that but she would drink so much more milk from the bottle than she would from a sippy so we were hesitant to switch. We started by finding a sippy that she really liked (which ended up being a Nuby with a hard top, it has a smooth, fast flow which she likes) then we began giving her the sippy rather than bottle one meal at a time. We also let her sit on our laps (think feeding a baby a bottle) while watching a show or reading a book. Today, she is 5.5 and still drinks her milk from the same sippy cups and often asks to sit on our lap to finish her milk after her meal is finished. I don't mind her still using a sippy bc she is getting a lot of good calories this way. I say go with whatever works best for you!

WOW!! I am so glad I am not alone here... My little man is just about 15 months old too and I was feeling a bit guilty about the bottle! I am glad that there are others out there who understand... and don't criticize my weakness <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> He just will not drink his milk or pediasure out of a sippy cup...
