| Really need help with this.
Like a dummy (which he dont have) he uses the bottle as comfort. When he was 11 months we got him off the bottle to a sippy cup.
The he became ill for almost 5 months with constant sickness and would not drink from the cup so we gave him the bottle as to get fluids down him. anyway I've tried taking the bottle away but it's just not working.
He drinks from a cup at nursery. BUt at bed time he wants his bottle and if he's unhappy he'll want his bottle.
Any help please. I really want him off this damn bottle |

| tried that. You wanna see the different cups we've got!!!
I let him choose one and he tries to use them. the ones you dont just suck from you have to bit down on it. he just hates them. |

| maybe its time to be tough?? i mean i dont see the bottles as a real problem at the mo, but if he so attatched to them then maybe get it out of the way now unless your happy for himto keep using them?? maybe just take them away end of, if he is thirsty he will drink from a beaker...i know it sounds tough and will be hard for a couple of daysx |

| I dont know hun was goin to say the same as Gem abou the bottle fairy or easter bunny needs it for all the little bunnies??? The farm by us open to the public has a little tub where you can give the dummies and bottles for the lambs. (I need to get rid of Lillie dummy!) But Iv got friends whos LOs still have bottles at 4 and 5. I just slowly weened Lillie off before I had hollie, which she didnt seem to bother, but dummy now Im having trouble with and HOllie doesnt have one, but nothing works. a little of me thinks well its her comfort So know how hard it is. aw hope you find a way. xxx |

| Aimee used to have a bottle at bedtime - until Lily was born. I changed Aimee's teats on her bottle the same week, and she then decided that she didnt want the bottle anymore and it was 'Lily's'. How about explaining that the new baby will need bottles and he is a big boy now? x |

| I just threw Chloe's away and said they were gone, I know it's harsh, she moaned for literally only a day, and then was fine, if it bothers you, then just get rid of them x |
