I had trouble because I was weak and always went with the bottle because it was easy. Finally when 18 months I just threw the bottles away. She watched me throw them away and understood that she could only have a sippy cup. It worked well. She got the point and I wasn't able to give in anymore.

take all the bottles out of sight and make sippy cups the only thing available. that way thats their only choice. I did it that way when my son was 17 mo...I had been giving him sippie cups during the day and then a bottle of milk at night but I just gave him the milk before bed in a sippie cup and he was fine. But then I still had to cut the milk out at night. I did that that closer to age 2, I think. Good luck.

My son's daycare eliminate bottles at one-year of age. I admit, I suffered more than he did, but they introduced and trained them to use cups. I was very impressed by a class full of 1 and 2 year olds sitting down for lunch, drinking out of cups! A few spills came from the newest toddler, but in no time, he mastered the skill as well. I am so grateful to them for that lesson. I was using sippy cups as well, but gradually stopped , unless we were in the car.

Try Nuby, I know they sell it at target and it is BPA free. I had to go cold turkey and my son refused it for two feedings than he took it. OTherwise I was trying for weeks and giving into his crying. Good luck.

There is a sippy cup at walmart that the spout is actually soft and they have to bite and suck at the same time, actually have to work a bit to get it to come out. I found that worked great for my son.

Take the bottle away altogether she will get the idea real quick that if she's thirsty she has to drink from that cup it wont take more than a day

I started by only putting water in my twins bottles and putting the good stuff in the sippy cups. It took a while longer to break the nighttime but after I had gotten them used to sippy cups during the day I started giving them the cups at night too. It only took a few nights for them to accept that the bottles were all gone.
