Slowly introduce soft foods, usually rice first, then other grains.
Do not buy the cool baby food in the glass jars. They are overpriced and actually unhealthy.
Instead, take whatever you are eating for dinner, stick it in the blender, then serve it to your daughter.
She will be thrilled to get some of what Mommies having.

Of course, this is only if she is only using a bottle
If not, try a sippie cup. They work well.

Wow! You must be busy.
The thing that worked the best w/ my daughter was to get her the sippy cups w/ the soft tops. Doing it slowly helped too. Like making it so that only milk goes in the bottle, and juice or water is in a sippy cup. Also, making it a big deal that she is a big girl now and gets to do things that her younger siblings don't get to do.
You may try weaning the 1 year old at the same time.
Good luck! hope it goes well for you.

Only put water in the baby bottle for her. Use a sippy cup and put all other drinks in the sippy like milk, juice, ect. She will soon realize the good stuff comes in the sippy cup. Worked for all 3 of my boys.

replace it with a sippy cup. Your one year old should already be being introduced to a sippy cup. Mine started at 10 months and 11 months. After your two year old gets use to using the sippy, start have the child stand still and teach the child to drink from cup. My daughter was 2 and a half when she started using a cup.

You can buy sippies that have a soft lid for transition. And then I used small paper cups to teach her to drink from cup.

Have her drink from a cup sometimes. Tell her you need her to start learning how to drink out of her big girl cup, because she's a big girl now. My 15 month old godson drinks out of his big boy sippy cup half the time. Try giving her some juice in her big girl cup. When she drinks out of it, go crazy and lavish affection on her for being so good! Still let her use her bottle, but perhaps you could let her use her big girl cup for breakfast/lunch time and she can have her bottle at night time.

Use the "bottle fairy". Before she goes to bed, let her put some bottles in a baggie by her bed. Then, after shes asleep switch the bottles for a new cup that is just special for her. No one else gets to drink out of it.

Good question :) This was always the hardest part for me, but then? I substituted water for milk. None of my children liked water at that age. I did that for about a week, then gave them a sippy cup to put next to their beds. Amazingly enough, it works.
Good luck!

Start with a sippy or regular cup at meals. Eliminate all others except at bedtime, and then substitute water for milk to prevent tooth decay.

Know what worked for me?
One day I was tired of cleaning those baby bottles and just left them in the drainer. Later, when my daughter asked for a bottle, I told her "No, they're all broke". Then I told her that we should probably just throw them away if they were broken, so I had her help me put them in a trash bag and had her put them out in the trash can. No more bottles after that!

Wow, three kids under 2 years old! All power to you. Personally, I wouldn't worry much until she is 3, but thats my opinion. I would probably just be happy to have her out of diapers first.
