My toddler asks for the bottle mainly as a sleep cue now. We have moved daytime milk to a cup, but bedtime is a different story. If you managed this transition gently, what sequence did you follow?
A visual routine with two or three pictures worked surprisingly well at this age. The child liked knowing what came next. We are in Hyderabad and this came up for us last year.
Did your child take time to adjust, or was the improvement fairly quick? The first few days were definitely messier than the later ones. I would still test it for a short period before making a long commitment.
