when my daughter turned 1, I took away her bottle completely, it made for a few sleepless nights, she went to bed w/ her bottle, but I kept giving her a pacifier (which I'm not sure if I recommend) because now I will have to break that. But it didn't take more than a few days and she was good. My husband was in Korea at the time so I don't regret the pacifier, just prolly won't do it with my next if she isn't a paci baby to begin with. My daughter didn't take a pacifier in the beginning and I would go in there when she was crying and give it to her, one in her mouth and one in her hand for when she lost the first... I wish I could have done the same w/ potty training.. still having problems with that.
