Try switching to sippy cups but not the usual ones. Get ones that have a soft top or are training cups. Both are designed to make the transition from bottle to cup easier. My daughter did great. She used a soft top sippy cup during the day and a bottle at night, and now she use the normal hard plastic sippy cups all day and night. Gerber, Playtex and Nuby all make soft-top traing sippy cups.

every child is different. Our daughter was nearly 15 months old. Of couse she ate regular food but she would still not sleep until we gave her a bottle. One day we threw all her bottles away and she understood if she wnated her milk or juice she had to take the sippy cup. One thing I read in "What to epect during the toddler years" was to give them an ultimatum. Only put water in a bottle and put there favorite drink in a sippy cup. More times than not they will choose there favorite drink no matter what the container is

it was easier with my daughter, because she saw brother drinking from a cup and wanted one too. but each child is different. general rule of thumb, if they start trying to drink from your cup or know how to drink through a straw it is time to change from bottle for sippy cup. My son kept throwing his bottles on the floor, around in the car, etc... and then would scream when he got thirsty and couldn't reach his bottle. i let him watch me take all his bottles and throw them away, then i told him he was a big boy and didnt need that baby stuff. He laughed and never whined for one bottle. We gave him a sippy cup and showed him how to use it. He figured it out in about 2 days. We kept the bottle for night time only and he got totally off them in a week.
hope some of this helps.
But remember each child and parent is different.

Here's wat you do. switch the bottle to the sippy cups that have the spill proof lid. Of course the baby won't like the change at first, but you have to show him/her that it's the same thing as the bottle. Lead by example. Maybe try using a sippy cup along with your baby, this way he/she doesn't have to face it alone. it may sound like a lot of steps but to a baby, the smallest things matter. =)

Every one of my kids gave it up -- shortly after they discovered the sippy cups. Then only for a short while during naps. Around 11-12 months.
