Pick your battle: Many infants develop a bottle dependency as a comfort object. Excessive milk intake cuts desire for other foods & can result in anemia. I try to split the bottle issue into 2 components.By only putting water in the bottle, they can have it, but they must go to a cup for the "tasty stuff", limiting total milk intake to 24oz/d. They eventually get bored with the bottle & toss it.
