I have a friend who has advised me to stop bottles cold turkey when DS turns a year, just take them all away at once. I was shocked to hear her say this because it seems a bit harsh, and I hadn't heard of anyone else who had done this, but I really respect her opinion (she is a close friend, has a masters in child education, is a wonderful mother to two, and teaches pre-school).
Has anyone done this? Right now he drinks water from a sippy or straw cup, but wont drink his formula from a cup. If DS refuses to drink his milk from a cup like he refused drinking from a bottle when he was younger, I am tempted to try this. But I don't want it to be a miserable experience for us, either.
Just wanted to see if anyone had done this...
