My daughter has only just stopped using her bottle in the last month. She is 2 and a half. She used to want it for comfort but I just got rid of it and give her milk in a different kind of bottle, those pop-top ones. Her milk intake really has decreased since stopping using the bottle though so I would suggest adding extra calcium in the form of cheese or yogurt to her diet to compensate.I also agree with Laura D, it's not a crime to let a kid have a bottle. In my case though my daughter isn't toilet trained yet and still sucks a dummy so I figured something had to go
