Since your child is 2 1/2, this should have been taken care of
a long time ago.  You shouldn't give in and make it clear to the
child that there is not going to be a bottle around for them.  
My daughter is 2 1/2 and she has been off the bottle since she
was about a year old.  Since then, she never asked for one.  
I just decided to give her a cup with something in it and didn't give 
her any more bottles.

You'd better work fast since there is going to be another child soon.
Watch out for this older child once the other child is using bottles.
