My Lilly has been home 13 months is 28 months old and shows no sign of giving up her bottle. Since she won't eat we give her a combo of pediasure and formula. We are working with all kinds of speacialists to help with the no eating part but other than suggesting we give her a sippy or cup sometimes they aren't worried about the bottle.
I look at it like this. If this is the comfort she needs then who are we to take that away since she has lost so much in her young life. And when I start to totaly loose it after cleanin another bottle I look at this old article from Le Leche.
I will paraphase.

Natural Weaning

Easy allowing child led will be easier
Management over life, gives child some control in life
Only as long as needed, when need is met it goes away
Trust ,security is crucial
Intimacy
Oral satisfaction
No regrets

As the first letter of each adds up it is all about emotion. Don't let others questions or comments deter you. Thanks for bringing this up and letting me know I am not alone with a two year old on a bottle.
