  With DD we started at a year.  Pedi said no more than 16 ounces of any kind of milk a day.  I started mixing her breast milk and cow?s milk in her bottles while at work.  Once she was on all milk I measured the milk and offered it in a cup.  She did fine and bottles were gone by 13/14 months she still nursed morning and night until she was 18 months, but pedi said not to count that in daily ounces as she doubted she was getting much from each session especially the night one.  The goal as far as the pedi was concerned was to have her off bottles by 18 months

  DD is on Neocate and is just starting to tolerate a few foods. I got samples of Neocate junior from her dietician, and we plan to start offering it in sippy cups starting in a couple weeks. I would love for her to be off bottles by 1 year. DS weaned himself at 10.5 months, and it was great.

  DS born 8/8/09 and DD born 6/12/12.

  I started introducing a soft spout sippy cup around 10 months. I started out by just giving it to her during her food meal times (although she's a horrible solids eater), with water in it. She would play around with it, and sometimes suck on it a little. And now I do one feeding with her with her formula in it, she does "okay" with it.. but is still very partial to her bottle... eventually I hope to only give her a bottle at night before bed time, and the rest of the time give her the sippy.
