I haven't tried, but some time ago I stopped giving an afternoon bottle as he wouldn't take it anymore. I think he associates the bottle with sleep and refuses to have milk (unless its the morning one) he's going to bed. I realise this is my own undoing, but, it works.
I was thinking along the lines of warm water with a bit of sugar, but the warmth is a bit of shock to him and refuses to drink it, seems to believe 'hot, hot' (very cute when he says it) even though its not. So he gets that its water, but its not his regular water.
My other son was like your ds Mum2Romone, and to a certain degree still is now. But, I just can not understand why ds2 is doing this. It wasn't always this way, but seems to be recent.
For anyone who happens to read this... It turns out he is teething with molars. So he is pooping all the time with a red bum and more recently the night wakes also. Someone hand me some toothpicks!
