Giving up dummy & bottle

Hi everyone. So I was thinking about starting the process soon of my son (19 month old) no longer having his bottle and dummy.
I was wondering if anyone has any tips? I have no idea on whether it’s best to give up the bottle first, then dummy. Or dummy and then bottle.
He has 2 dummy’s when napping and at night. Also sometimes when we are out if he gets upset.
I’ve tried giving him milk in his sippy cup but he gets upset and won’t drink it.

I found the cups with the soft silicone spouts easiest for transition away from bottle. So Dr Brown, Nuby or the Philips Avent. They do tend to chew the spout, so have to be replaced, but you can't win everything!

I would sort the bottle, then stop any awake-time dummies, then tackle dummy a bit later.
