I have tried her with loads of different cups and she just refuses. She is 17 month old?
Any suggestions, as i think this it too old to be on a bottle, especially during the day..

So what if she prefers a bottle? Why the need to try and force her onto cups? If she's happier with a bottle, let her continue with them, they're doing no harm. She's hardly still going to be on them when she gets to double figures in age is she? I fail to see the need to stress both of you out on something so trivial.
If you leave her to it, she'll be on the "big girls" vups before you know it of her own free will.

my 28 month old is still on a bottle for her milk at bedtime.
i tried all sorts of cups with both of mine but have found these 3 to be great (and easy to clean)

Didnt expect folk to agree with me on this one, lol.
I've a confession...
My daughter was gone 3 before she gave up taking a bottle of milk (cows milk i have to add) to bed! I have to admit i was slightly concerned but using the reasoning i used above I figured it wasn't THAT big a deal. And she did eventually stop doing it. I think it was more of a security thing rather than her wanting the actual bottle and a part of me thought it was sweet.

I worked beside a guy who son took a bottle of hot chocolate to bed with him when he was 5. I did worry about the poor boy's teeth. Not sure when he stopped it, but I think it would have been better not to get to the point when you are giving them their drink of choice in it. Don't seee a problem with them having milk from it, but for the sake of her teeth, don't leave her with it to sleep.
