| sorry. not there yet myself. wish i could help. i've heard that you can just take it away and let them be fussy for a couple of days until they get used to it, but i'm not sure if i'd be able to do that myself. good luck. ↑ |

Get him a trainer sippy cup - they sell ones with soft spouts and you can graduate up to a proper one when he's comfortable using it.
You need to get him off the bottles for the sake of his teeth!
Get him a nice one with animals 'n' stuff on. ↑ |

Yeah, swap the bottle for a soft toy. Go and buy him a nice new one and tell him that the bottle as changed into a TEDDY BEAR!!!
He'll be happy with this trade I bet :-D ↑ |
