For those who serve warm milk to your babies...

How do you transition from bottle to cup? My 17 month old is so used to drinking warm milk that when I tried giving her milk (cold) in a cup, she wouldn't drink it. It seems crazy to warm milk then serve it in a cup..

Do whatever will get her to drink it from a cup. It's weird how most kids I have known who love milk in a bottle won't drink it from a cup.

I still warm it for my 24 month old and occasionally 5 year old. They like it and childhood is short. No advice here.

We had stainless bottles, which warm easily in warm tap water: now we just serve it from the same container, with a straw instead of a nipple. She drinks water from a cup and drinks cold milk from a cup at preschool, but gets warm milk at home.

We just gave him cold milk in a cup (2-3 oz.) and didn't make a big deal out of it. He got better at drinking it over time.

Also reminded ourselves that milk wasn't necessary and made sure to give him cheese and yogurt on days when he didn't drink much milk.

I warm it up for 30 seconds in the microwave for my 2 year old. If I leave it cold he walks it over to the microwave himself. It takes the chill off but isn't really 'warm.'

He only drinks about 10oz of milk a day. Doesn't bother me to do it.

My 4 yo still drinks warm milk out of a cup. It's a pain, but not harmful so not a battle I want to pick.

My 4 and 6 year olds still drink warm milk out of sippy cups right before bed. The 6 year old would be mortified if her friends knew, but she still loves the milk

We hear it in a coffee cup then split that between two sippy cups.

I still warm DDs (4yo) milk which she drinks from a cup when we are home. She will also drink cold milk if necessary - when we are out - but she prefers it warmed up at home. I warm in a mug in the microwave then transfer to plastic cup.
