My son is 10 months, & I've been trying to get him off the bottle for almost a month now. It's SO hard! :( since he has 8 front teeth, i don't want to keep giving him the bottle b/c it'll mess up his teeth. During the day he drinks water out of a straw with his meals, but when he wants his bottle, HE WANTS HIS BOTTLE :O so today, i finally decided I'm taking him off of the bottle COMPLETELY. He was very very fussy, && clingy all day, will this get any better? Any tips out advice?

    It should get better once he get used to not having the bottle. I started Jack on a sippy at 6 months. He only gets a bottle early morning and before bed.

    We stopped bottles cold turkey this weekend... we did bottles at home (2) and sippies at daycare (3) all last week then friday went to 1 bottle then none this weekend. He likes sippies though. We have the nuby and munchkin 6oz that are soft tip with handles and he does great...

    We just got rid ofthe pacifier cold turkey and the first night at Ned time was a little rough, after that he never cared or remembered. It does get better and easier, just don't give in. We are down to two bottles a day and will be all done with them in a month, but he likes sippy cups.
