    I took my DD off the bottle when she was 16 months. Cold turkey.
    I just replaced the bottle with extra cuddles in the rocking chair, and she was fine

    Thanks for that,hope you dont mind me asking but i posted on here and noone has replied and i just wondered being as you said about it,with the toddler bed,did you just take the cot away cold turkey?Im such a chicken,DD is such a good sleeper and im worried once she goes into a big bed are my evenings and nights over?Weve had the big bed set up for a while now just not sure whether to put her in and get rid of cot at same time or leave cot int there in case?

    Yeah i did, I brought the toddler bed & took the cot straight down, no probs he loved it, its a Thomas one with a thomas doona so he was really excited to sleep in it. DS was a horrible sleeper, now he sleeps all night since getting rid of bottle and putting him in a bed

    It does get easier hun. Its like all of a sudden they just forget all about it. All I can suggest is dont take the dummy off him yet. It can be a big thing for them losing the bottle and he would find comfort in his dummy atm. Just give it a couple months in between atleast.

    Just lots and lots of cuddles and explain to him he is a big boy now etc. Try not to give in... otherwise all your hard work so far with it is undone.
