Between 12 and 18 months. Preferably right around their first birthday.

My son is 2, and he gave up the bottle at around 11 1/2 months. It was no problem at all, but his pacifier was different.
Pediatricians recommend around 12 months to wean baby from bottle.
What I did was when he reached almost 11 1/2 months, I stopped putting anything that he liked in the bottle (formula, juice), and put that stuff in a sippy cup. In the bottle I would put plain water, and soon he began to realize that the things he liked were in the cup, not bottle, and he just didn't want the bottle anymore. As he got older he enjoyed drinking water.
Good luck!

When your baby is able to drink from a cup you should start to wean him off the bottle.

1 year old is ideal but my son was about 13 mos when he was fully weaned. Start with one bottle at a time until they are all gone

For what I've read in some books about how to care for infants, and what the doctor told me, around 1 year of age and definately BEFORE 18 months... the more we wait, the harder it will be to get the baby to give it up...

Babies around ten months of age should be transitioned to the cup so that when they are one year of age they are one the cup and drinking whole milk. Talk to your pediatrician about the move to milk, children differ by weight.
