How to finally ditch the bottle?

[CheerfulSoul]

My ds is 19 months and still has one bottle of milk at bedtime. We really want to stop giving him a bottle now but we don't know what to swap it for. He drinks his water from a Tommee Tippee sippy cup but that only holds 5oz and he takes about 7oz of milk at bedtime. Also, he only sips water from a cup so I'm unsure whether he'll be able to drink enough volume.
Can anyone recommend a good 'bottle replacement' cup? Or any strategy to ditch the bottle?

When DD was little, we gradually diluted her bed time bottle milk with water, until eventually it was all water,

It was hard to get it off her all together, & TBH once it was water, & only bedtime, so not harming her teeth, I didn't worry to much, & let her carry on, ended up on her 3rd birthday, swapping it for pocket money, in that it "was a big girl thing" ...she handed it over quite easily then...but funny, even now at 7, she will look at old photos & sigh wistfully at pictures of her & her bottle..lol

Thanks rockinhippy. I actually want to keep the milk but lose the bottle, so the opposite way around to you.
I want my ds to drink 7oz of milk from a cup before bed. Am I being unrealistic?!

oops sorry, misunderstood

its been a while for me, but yes I think that is pretty young to want him to only drink from a cup, especially at bedtime as he;s likely to be sleepy, be interesting to see what others think

it might interest you though, that milk can be as bad for teeth as sweets etc, so not always the best for bed, my DD had to have teeth removed at 2 (on my birthday up to that age, she had never had sweets, or ketchup or fizzy drinks, none of the usual culprits, our Dentist blamed her bed time milk, as he reckoned its more likely to sit in the mouth & cause decay
