I never heard about dropping the bottle for a sippy cup when they turn one with DD1, so she still got her milk in a bottle. She would take sippy cups just fine, and she also like drinking out of toddler bottles that come with a straw, but the whole they are one, no more bottles seemed to have escaped me. I will say that when it was in a bottle, it had to be warm. I guess they are creatures of habit, and milk from a sippy cup to them isn't the same as milk from a bottle. She still likes her last cup of milk before bedtime to be warm. With DD2, I introduced a sippy cup earlier because she used colic bottles, and I am just tired of washing so many little parts. She still gets 3-4 6 oz bottles of formula for a total of 18-24 oz of formula a day, and I suspect that will drop to 12-18 oz when she is around one. I give her yogurt in the morning and will probably give her cheese sticks as a snack when she gets more than just two teeth, and that should suffice for calcium and fat and all. As for her liquid intake, DDs can have all the water they want in addition to milk. I never had a problem with DD1 adjusting to milk and taking less.
