I never really had this problem with my kids because mine only took a binky til they were 6 months tops BUT when giving up the bottle between 12 and 16 months I just got rid of all the bottles. It was surprising that they just didnt ask for them. I did not make a big ordeal out of it...no binky fairy or ceremony or prizes just quietly threw them out and started giving all their drinks in cups. I bet youd be surprised if you just got rid of it that he wouldnt even want it all that much. I know its tough though cause you want to keep them happy and if he is as attached as you say then he will probably ask for it a few times and it might make him upset at first. Good luck whatever you decide to do!!
