HOw long?

This is more of a bottle feeding question than formula.
How long did you guys keep your LO on bottles before you went exclusively to sippy cups?
I've got my daughter cut back to four 5oz bottles a day, and the rest of the time she can have her sippy cup whenever she wants, which she enjoys. She eats three square meals a day, and the odd snack.
She just turned one in December.
I just want to know what everyone else has been doing.

I introduced the sippy cup to my 2 eldest at 6 months for drinks of water. At one year when they cud go onto cows milk i stopped the bottles altogether and gave all milk in the sippy cups. My 2nd son objected the first night he got his last milk before bed in a cup and threw it across the floor but i kept giving it back to hime the next night and the next and after 2 or 3 nights he realised it was the cup or nothing and that was the end of bottles (hurrah!). Planning on doing the same with my daughter.
