weaning a toddler off the bottle for milk

[dizabelle]

Our DD is still having a morning and pre-bedtime bottle of milk. She is 16 months old and we have just read that we should have weaned her off the bottle a long time ago and that a pre-bed bottle of milk is not healthy as the sugar in the milk will damage her teeth. This morning we tried to give her the milk form a sippy cup however she refused to drink it. Does anyone have any advice please as I am panicking about what to do this evening when she is expecting her usual bottle of warm milk? Many thanks in advance!

Now is a good time to start thinking about ditching it.when dd was almost 1 we started with the morning one and just gave her a sippy. She cried then drank a bit. Once she was over it we replaced the bedtime one, she just drank it and that was the end of it.
