Maybe you could switch him to a paci 
Regarding what Linny said: Our NP said the bottles were an issue when the kids had them laying down, which thek kids tended to want to do when they were older, so that's why she recommended ending the bottle at 18 months, but sippy cups of water were ok in bed. Something about how a kid sucked on a bottle vs the sippy, and it allowing ear infections or not...I didn't really listen cause we're ending the bottle at 12 months, and I don't expect Tyler to suddenly decide he wants to hold it himself in the next couple months. I bought a sippy cup with handles and he's in love with it. He's not using it yet though...I am. He always wants our cups, so I'm thinking if we use this, he with love it when I finally give him a shot at it
