Any advice? I was hoping to just throw them away and be done with them. Lol. I was so happy he didn't take to the pacifier but here he is glued to the bottle.
Smh..
Quoting Anonymous:Um, there are tons of sippy cups out there? Seems like the obvious answer to me but maybe I'm not understanding something. Best of luck.

IDK how to help you cause my 10 month old uses sippy cups but we use the ones by nuby and nuk that have the soft sip spouts. I hope you can firgure something out.
Try to figure out a way to transition him to sippy cups. What do you usually put in his bottle at bed /nap time?
It does if you get rid of all the bottles away and leave no other option. Is he the parent or you?

He drinks a sippy cup throughout the day. I tried giving him that instead of the bottle at nap/bed times. That did not work..

Give yourself a timetable, maybe a week.
Make a poster of the week.
The last day is the big boy day, when he is not on a bottle anymore.
Buy something special for each day of the week, like sippy cups, a small toy, etc.
Tell him this is his special week when he is becoming a big boy without a bottle. Mark off each of the days with a cross on the calendar and a little gift.
Last day, it's a throw away the bottles party and replacement with a couple of special sippy cups and maybe a cupcake and candle to blow out to celebrate being a big boy.
And done.
