The main reason for wanting to phase out now is as others have pointed out...at this stage I think she's still young enough to not (hopefully) refuse the changes.
Her sleep associations are a little pink teddy the snuggles and muzzles, a blanket and a track we play her for all her sleeps.
Her bottle is given after she's put into her sleeping bag, then we read a book, cuddles with mummy and daddy (if he's there) and then bottle in dimmed bedroom in bed. So changing to a cup will mean a slight change in that routine for the day naps but that's fine. She is a bit particular about the milk temp so I think that will just take time.
Tinks, I really like the under the pillow idea! Dummy for naps only in bed, then maybe only for one nap and nights, then down to nights, then never! Lol.
As for her eating, I don't think I could get more into her if I tried. She eats a lot, it surprises me. We still go through a lot of cows milk and have almost finished our donated stash.
We have loads of different cups, from about 9 months too, but DD refused them all except this one silly straw cup. She's only just started holding it herself do it might be a good time to crack out all the fail cups and try again now that she can wrangle them herself.
I'm loving this advice guys, it's really helpful. I feel so clueless at the beginning of each new phase of DD's life, just when I feel I have her sorted she changes and grows some more
