She drinks everything else out of her sippy cup. She eats regular meals, and about an hour after she has a WARM milk bottle. (at first i had to get her off the cereal in her bottle from having acid reflux) Now that I have it down to just milk, i want her off the bottle before shes older and its a problem. Its too much of a comfort to just go cold turkey. I need more innovative ideas here. she would go with out a normal food meal, before going with out the bottle. I tried it warm in the sippy cup, cold in the sippy, added chocolate to it...she acts like its poison.. help?

Did you try the Nuby sippy cup with the soft top? It is a good bridge between the bottle and a sippy cup with a hard top. We had to use that because my daughter really hated regular sippy cups at first. We got them at Wal-Mart -- they come in purple, red and a really ugly bright yellow/green (the tops are clear).
Also, have you tried it in a regular cup with no top? There are some kids who prefer to go from bottle to regular cup, completely skipping the sippy cup. It may be messy at first, but you'll be grateful later.

I would use a traniton sippy cup, such as the NUBY cup. It has a soft silicon lid, but in the shape of a sippy cup lid.

I agree with the first answer.Also when I decided to take it away for my daughter, we had a little party and made her throw it out on her own and celebrate the fact that she was now a BIG girl! It worked! Good luck!

This is going to be harder for you then it is for her, even if she screams for a few days. In the long run, it is much better to just make the switch and allow her time to adjust then to try other gimicks.

start diluting the milk with water gradually until she is only getting the water then she probably will not want it
