Help please so confused about weaning!?

I didnt take Charleigh off formula until she was just over 12 months and even then i choose to giv eher toddler formula mixed with milk as it has alot more nutrients etc in it. I also still fed Charleigh her bottles until she was about 14 maybe even 15 months (she only had a night time bottle then). Have you tried the sippy straw cup with formula??? He will learn in his own time. You can also try adding milk/formula to his foods to attribute to his daily intake of milk like cereal in the morning, even adding milk to his vegies or whatever else he is eating. I started adding milk to Charleigh foods at about 9 months and at 11 months i started giving her half and half bottles and just after 12 months i stopped day bottles all together and just made sure she drank/ate alot of dairy rich foods like milk/cheese/yogurt etc and she still had (and even now at nearly 18 month) her night bottle. I know many people who's children still have a night bottle at 2 + so dont worry yourself to much about it now. Charleigh is the same when it comes to drinking out of sippy cups, she will have a bit here and there but doesnt drink a whole lot in one go hence why i still give her the bedtime bottle. Good luck he will get there eventually :)
