Yeah I kind of did what Marissa did- but I was replacing boobie and she was a bit younger (12-13 months). I just gave her a sippy cup (tomme tippy first cup one that has no valve so it flows easily) at lunch when I wasn't too bothered how much she drank and let her experiment with it in the highchair. Then when it came to replacing the actual breastfeeds I held her like I would have when I fed her and just gave her the same cup.   She now has one morning and night from her sippy cup and a yoghurt drink at lunchtime.]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:10:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=513666&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#513666 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=510653&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#510653 Author: Nikki

I think you might need to do all or nothing with the bottles.

What I would try first (similar to the honey idea though) is offering him a milky milo in a cup/straw cup. That's how I got my girls weaned onto a cup LOL.

Does he really want milk at lunchtime? By that age, my girls were having just one cup of milk each day, at breakfast or bedtime. Would he be content to having just water in the straw cup at lunchtime?]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:36:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=510433&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#510433 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=510107&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#510107 Author: cuppatea

This is what I found worked. Spencer was having bottles morning and evening and would do the same, either not drink from the sippy cup and/or howl the house down until I got the bottle for him. I just gave up for a while but then his bottles were getting to the point of needing new nipples so it was either try again and get him off the bottle or buy new nipples which I was loathed to do when I had million perfectly good sippy cups that he wouldn't use.

So I reintroduced milk at lunch in the sippy cup for him to play with as wasn't fussed what he drank, once he realised yummy milk was in it he drank from it. After a few days of doing that I then gave him the sippy for his evening milk and he messed about but did drink some and I thought tough and put him to bed with what he had drank (was prepared for a night waking, but that didn't happen), next morning I offered him the milk in the cup and he drank the lot and that was it, he hasn't had anymore bottles. I then got rid of the lunch one again, so he just has 200ml in his cup morning and evening and water the rest of the time.

Good luck]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:03:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=510107&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#510107 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=510005&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#510005 Author: mamanee

Sam still has bottles, because I can't be bothered with a war either! He's never liked drinking from a cup despite when lots of other people tell me he should be drinking from a cup now.    He loves his bottle and has 2x 200mls a day, sometimes more!

I think I'll do what Stacey said and wait for him to master a proper cup.

Rhylz still has 2 bottles - granted they are only 125mls each but its his wind down for the day and beginning of the day.

Unless you really want him to give up bottles then i would keep offering it in the cup and not give it in a bottle at all.]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:13:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=509923&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#509923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=509896&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#509896 Author: kebakat

Daniel still has milk in bottles. He does the same thing as Alex and I can't be bothered with a war so I've just left him with bottles and am not going to push it until he masters a proper cup. I figure it's easier that way rather than fighting with him over it]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:38:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=509896&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#509896 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=509884&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#509884 Author: Mikaela

Alex still has 3 x 180ml bottles of cows milk at 14 months, and I'm trying to get him to drink at least his lunchtime one from his straw cup.

He drinks water from this straw cup without a problem but I just can't seem to get him to drink milk from it. He either refuses it full stop and howls until I get the bottle or he just takes sips and then dribbles them back out again.

Any ideas on how to get him to drink milk from his cup?

The only thing I've tried so far was adding some melted honey to the milk to make it sweeter to see if that'd get him to drink it - no go.]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:29:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21474&PID=509884&title=going-from-bottles-to-milk-in-a-cup#509884
