Hi all, my son is 2.5 YO and he still has a bottle of milk first thing in the morning. It's the very first thing he asks for every single morning & I've tried so many times to distract him first thing to try and get him off the bottle but he ends up crying and becomes so distressed without it.
I've tried replacing it with a cup of milk etc but honestly nothing seems to be working. Has anyone got any advice? Shall I just go cold turkey and deal with the meltdowns?

Last week I made a big deal about my 2.5 year old having her morning bottle in a brand new big girl cup… she was excited, no tears, I thought brill I’m on to a winner. She took one sip and left it. Next day, said I don’t want my big girl cup 😂

Going through this currently. I’m reducing the amount and reducing the temp, so eventually it will be given cold so he doesn’t associate it with comfort - then I have a brand new special big boy cup for him to transition onto if he still wants to have cold milk when he wakes up for the day
