Spinoff...giving up bottle

DD is 18 months...almost 19 months and we got rid of the morning and mid day bottle easily, but are struggling a bit with the night time bottle. Its part of her bedtime routine. She will get her bottle of milk, lay on the couch, watch cartoons, and go to bed (or fall asleep on the couch). She refuses to drink milk out of the sippy cup. Its her comfort before bedtime so i feel terrible doing this, thats why I havent really tried hard at all. Any good advice?

my DD just turned 19 months and I'm struggling with this as well.. she will not drink milk from a sippy at night. I'm looking for suggestions too..

Re: Spinoff...giving up bottle

my 20m twins still get one in the morning and one at night. I will switch the one in the AM to a cup once im off for the summer. We have the same problem with the evening. We have a bottle of frozen BM and snuggle with some tv. I have no intention of stopping the evening until the BM is all used. I worked way too hard for it for it to go in a cup and possibly not get consumed.
I'm also not sure that it is a huge issue if they have a bottle in their mouth for 15min a day. I could be wrong. I am looking forward to a bottle free life though.

DD is 18 months and was still taking 3 bottles of milk a day. We stopped cold turkey a couple of weeks ago. I will not lie, it was extremely difficult the first 3-5 days. Tantrums, crying at the fridge, throwing the new straw cup of milk, etc. BUT now we have no issues. She continues to drink 3 servings (6oz) of milk per day. It is still a comfort to her at night, she now snuggles up with her cup and is absolutely fine.
