S.L.
I weaned my twins from the bottle at about 10 or 11 months and just put the milk in sippy cups but all children are different and all children will give up the bottle eventually. I would go to the store and buy a couple of the nuby sippy cups, the ones from wal-mart that have the sippy cup type spout but it is soft like a nipple from a bottle. That's what I did and it worked so well that they didn't really even take notice of the difference between the bottle and the new sippy cups they were being given. Eventually he will take other types of sippy cups but you have to learn things take time and it's not going to be an instant thing......let him go at his own pace. I think my twins didn't start taking the hard topped sippy cups until they were almost 2 but they had been on the soft topped sippy's since they were 10 or 11 months old so it took them a little over a year before they would take just any sippy cup. Hope this helped!
