What is the best way to wean my one year old from the bottle?
Answers:
I agree with everyone else.What I did I waited about 2weeks after he turned a year old I threw all but one bottle away. In the morning I used the bottle and toward evenings and nights I used the sippy cups. A week after that I threw the bottle out and encouraged the sippy cups and table foods. It is hard to do but you can do it. Good Luck.

This is what I did it may or may not work for you.
The day he turned one I took the bottle away and he just started using the sippy cups with no problem. I did make sure I hid all the bottles so he wouldn't see them. Good Luck!
wkae up on morning with no bottles in site offer a sippy cup instead he may get a little cranky around nap time but stay strong don't give in i promise it gets better in a couple of days

3 kids I have tried all of that and it just doesn't work. I need help in this area real bad too.
This greatly depends on your patience. From my own experience I thru it out the window as he watched and said ok now your a big boy. He cried for a minute or two then when he quit I had his favorite drink in a cute cup.
Iwouldnt worry if he is ready to give up the bottle you'll know. try just giving him a bottle just at night for a while. Also there are new sippy cups at Wal-mart that have a soft tip... this is what helped our son get off the bottle.Source(s):
