My dd is nearly 23 months. She speaks very well and is easy to communicate with. She has been drinking well from a beaker since 7 months and has also been drinking from glasses cups ok now for about 4 months. The problem is getting her to give up her morning and evening milk from the bottle. I have tried telling her that bottles are for babies and that she needs the cup etc and she just gets really upset and says no mummy I want the babies bottle not the big girls cup. How should I go about it ? I am probably just being weak and rubbish and if I focus my efforts hard enough could probably get it sorted and should just not give in but I don't want to take something away that she seems so attached to ? Any ideas ? Or should I just not fuss about it. Thing is now being pg again (very early days only 5 weeks) I don't want her still on bottles if and when have another one. Also want to sort out potty training before then and moving into a bed - help !! So many things to sort.
