Still using the bottle?

Is anyone else still using the bottle for naps and betdtime? If so when and how are you planning on taking it away? We're using sippy cups and those straw no spill cups, but at night she has to have her baba. Just curious what the other moms are trying.

Thx

I went yesterday and picked some of the nuby cups up and we're going to try those out today. We're also trying to find a milk that works. I talked to the dr yesterday at her appointment and he said we could take a few weeks working on the bottle. She's cutting 4 eye teeth and her one year molars all at the same time. He said the sippy cup transition might be too much for us to take right now.

Yesterday we tried Lactaid whole milk. It didn't seem to make her sick. Hard to tell with the shots and teething though.

Sippy cup at nap time yesterday didn't really work out. I'm going to pick up some of the tommy tipsy? ones today. She likes drinking from a straw more than the hard plastic cups. I put her in there and within 3 minutes she was screaming her head off and threw the cup so hard against the wall it busted open.

No bottles in our house! Only the sippy cup! We have been bottle free for over a week!!!!
I wish I could give you some advice but Cruz made it easy for me, probably because he has hated taking bottles for so long!
