  Ours have all weaned off the dummy completely by about age 2......gradual process leading up to it etc.
  
  Like ours were, ur lol onlt has the one bottle. We just let ours have the one bottle at night and cups/beakers during the day - ours each gradually weaned themselves off the bottle completely between 2 1/2 and 3 yrs old.

  Kara is 15 months and is off her bottles completely. She was sick at the start of December so I didn't give her any and then she was diagnosed with Diabetes so they wanted her off them. I just didn't put her back on them so that was easy. I will probably try and take the dummy away when she is about 2 if not sooner. She only takes it for sleeping now so she doesn't have it as much during the day compared to what she used to.
  
  Why don't you try her on a beaker even for the milk and see how she goes and then work on the dummy. It would be too hard to do the 2 at the one time.
