Sorry to hijack, but how did you get rid of the bottles? We're not at that stage yet.....but I'm prepared for a battle!...
Long story here. It took til he was 2.5 and felt like everyone was looking at him still drinking from a baby bottle. People were telling me it was bad he was still having bottles. I was told he's have buck teeth etc. I think you just have to go with their pace sometimes. He never had a blankie or teddy and once i took the dummy the bottle was all he had.
We tried everything from new sippy cups even let him pick his fav colour we tried soft teat, the avent spout cups, the cheap hard spout cups to normal cups.

i cut the teats off and he'd get soaked. In the end the take and toss straw cup was a winner with Thomas the tank engine on them then once he got to the cup i just started taking the kid of and just having the straw then i took the straw away and he just used the cup. It was a long battle.
