When did your Child stop needing Ba-Ba (Bottle), Binky (Bo-Bo)...?

My daughter is going to be 2 in June. She is hooked on her "binky" I took her bottle away once she turned 12 months. I had to get up a lot of times through-out the night and give her the formula she was used to in a sippy cup but after a week or so she forgot all about the bottle. The "binky" however seems impossible to take from her... I have tried to hide it several times but she don't forget about it!!! She won't sleep with-out, It's either the bink or no sleep for me!

I have 3 kids ages 7, 4 and 19 months....my oldest wasn't a binki baby but my 4 year old and my son were/are. With the bottle, I just bought a tippy cup and gave the kids milk in it before bed so their belly's were full and they fussed a little but after a few nights they were used to not having their bottle and enjoyed their cups. My son still has his binki and its a bit harder to get him off of it than his sister. With my daughter, she lost them on her own and if we found them before her, we would toss them out. When she ran out she cried for one for a while but soon got over it. My son is a terror without his though and my husband has made several late night trips to the store because he doesn't like to hear the crying....I'm currently working up the courage to have him throw them in the garbage. Someone told me that having their kid throw the binki away made them feel like a part of the decision and her daughter didn't want a binki after that. I'm hoping it goes so easy for me. Well, good luck with it all and hope I helped a little.

my daughter started to wean when she was over one year but my son is now over 2years and he still needs his bottle.

Hmm.. I think my kids never had a pacifier, as I heard it could mess wth their teeth coming in straight later? but the bottle..I nursed, but we did let them have a bottle for juice unit around two. but brished their teeth right after having one? (Thye have beautiiful teth now/no cavities and they are all grown!) I would say about two is a good bet! The child is ready now for a sippy cup@! I woudl get one and gradually offer that..stilll let them have an occaisional bottle? but I would work to place them onto a "BIg Boy" sippie cup with a lid! They LOVE to feel grown up!
