I'm not sure what the answer is, only that I agree it would be better
to ditch the bottles. Any ideas on how to do (this bearing in mind the
nursery have limited time and people to take it too slow) would be very
welcome. In the meantime we will have another go at the bottle so at
least he is on the way to transitioning from formula.

If I read the original post correctly you are still nursing right? When I
was still nursing Luke I just stopped sending the bottles to daycare.
Actually I sent them and ask that he not get them unless absolutely
necessary and he had one day of one bottle (versus 3-4) and nothing after
that. His bottles had either formula or breastmilk. I did provide a sippy
cup with cows milk that they used at nap time and snack time. He had had
sips of cows milk but we switched cold-turkey. He didn't drink much cows
milk for a few months but it increased as he got used to it. He nursed so
didn't need it for nutrition. It didn't seem to bother him at all. Some
babies might have a harder time but it might be as easy as that so try it
:-)

Luke was 13mo because I used the last of the can of formula before stopping
the bottles.

Congrats to the 1yr mark ;-)
