My toddler wont give up his milk bottle

Hi,
I have a 20 month old toddler that wont drink anything other than milk. No water or juice and not from anything other than a milk bottle. I've brought every toddler cup on the market. Strawed ones, hard tip, soft tip, open cup, anti spill etc. And he just throws it. I keep trying but still no luck. I put milk on the outside tip to show him it's what he likes but it doesnt make a difference.
Any advice?

I got mine both off the bottle by first slitting the teat slightly so it was no longer just a hole, then a day or two later turning the slit into a cross, then another day or two after that making the whole really big by cutting the cross out.
I found once it wasn't sucky like a bottle they lost interest. Good luck!

That's how I weaned mine off a dummy - gradually cut little bits off until the sucky thing had gone.
