Don't worry about it...he will give it up eventually. Try making the holes bigger in the nipples...and a few days later a bit bigger again and so on...my son started biting the nipples off and then I told him I couldn't buy anymore and "we" were done. Seriously though...I don't think I've ever seen a a child who is 3 or 4 with a bottle...I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you brush his teeth in the AM and PM. Good Luck!
