It's up to the parents, not the child.  When my youngest sister was about 2 and
a half, and still on the bottle, mom went to the hospital for about a week.  My
Aunt took the "baby" during that period, and took her off the bottle.  She was
completely bottle broken in about 3 days.  Unfortunately, when mom got out of
the hospital she put "baby" back on the bottle!!  When my mom finally did wise
up, the final removal from the bottle was quite accidental.  "Baby" dropped the
bottle and broke it.  Mom used that incident to stop bottle feeding her.

Hang in there!
