My twin daughters are 13 months old and are drinking milk (were weaned off of formula). They drink out of sippy cups throughout the day - water and milk. They do really well with the sippy cups, but I don't know what is the best way to wean them from the bedtime bottle. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.

I have no grand suggestion...other than have them help you during the day pack up the bottles in a box. At night offer then the milk sippy cup ...snuggle read books and then off to bed. We transitioned w/ a nite nite snack to help supplement the "food" feeling in the belly before bed. I would have to guess that they dont really "need" the bottle, its just a nice snuggle item.
Do the girls have a snuggle item?
It was actually harder for us to get rid of my daughters 4am bottle...it was the LAST to go!! She was MAD when I did it too....I put room temp water in the bottle which she DID not want....I did that maybe 2 nights/mornings in a row and then she didnt want it any more....she still woke up for about a week but w/ snuggles I got her back to sleep.
I would have to bet the first few nights they will be "mad/confused" but offer the sippy if they are use to that...and just calmly say if you need something to drink its right here...and the hugs & kisses...
hope it goes well....
