[quote=Anonymous]We went straight to a straw cup, never bothered with the sippy. I assume you've dropped bottled entirely (or at least during the day)? I found that helped--we kept the bottle at naptime and bedtime, then dropped it except at bedtime, then dropped it altogether. But other than that, we only offered the cup. Because that was all that was on offer, she drank out of it. Also, keep in mind that you don't want your kid drinking the same amount of cow's milk as breastmilk/formula. Milk is not a replacement for BM/formula--it's food. So the fact that they drink less milk from the cup is not necessarily a problem. "Liquid" isn't the first priority in terms of nutrition--don't equate BM with cow's milk.[/quote]
