Olivia and Charlie had their "bottles in the bin parties" on their 2nd birthdays.....they both happily drank from cups way way before then, but I was happy to let them continue to have night time bottles for the cosy comfort routine.

Now they have the exact same routine with warm milk from a cup instead. Both "gave up" the bottle no problem.

So if your daughter is content with warm milk from a cup, go for it!

I think "they" say 12 months to get rid of the bottle (Robin Barker who wrote BabyLove for example recommends 12 months) but I am not sure what the reasoning is? I was happy to give my babies another 12 months cos I am a softy, LOL! No detrimental effects though........
