When did you stop using a bottle and/or pacifier to put your baby to bed?

My son is 12 1/2 months old and he still gets rocked to sleep with a bottle or pacifier. I have tried to get him to sleep other ways and it was a complete and utter distaster and failure. I have received some negative comments from (supposedly) well meaning friends and family about it. My son pretty much only gets bottles right before bedtime and naptime, he drinks his milk or water out of a sippy cup the rest of the time and is an excellent eater. Is it so wrong to still rock a one year old with a bottle to get him to sleep?
