How do i get my baby to drink from a sippy cup?

Question

shes almost 12 months old. and her b-day is the 30 of this month. and everyone i know asks me doesnt she drink from a cup. and i say no since shes so tiny. she walks and everything but shes a small girl. i feel like shes like a baby still. i tried for a couple of days now and she only wants to drink juice in it. but when i put milk in it she doesnt want to drink from it. she wants her bottle. how to i train her to drink her milk in it as well? i dont want to push her. i think when shes ready i'll know right?

Answer 1

The fact that she is drinking juice out of it is a good thing. You could try those sippy cups by Nuby, they have a soft top so it's a good transitioning cup from the bottle to a sippy. My oldest was completely off the bottle at 9 months, but my youngest had a bottle until right before his 1st birthday, so it really does vary from kid to kid. I would just keep trying to give it to her with the milk, she should warm up to it after awhile. Be consistent, though.

Answer 2

All you can do is keep offering it.  Thats why they say start introducing the cup at 6 months because some babies take longer to get use to the sippy cup.  Just keep with the juice once a day to let her get use to it then move on to milk in a week or two.  My boys both had to have chocolate milk in theirs for a couple of weeks (pediatrician gave the ok) to make it so the milk was sweet tasting so they would accept it.  They were off the bottle at 9 months old.

Answer 4

Thats the problem today. Everybody wants babies to grow up fast. Let her be a BABY! She will do it when she is ready. Dont listen to people!!!!!!

Answer 5

she isn't even a year old yet it's fine that she still drinks from a bottle my daughter did when she was that age. she wasn't completly off the bottle until she was 14 months she would drink from a sippy cup during the day and had a bottle only at bed time you can try that. but don't rush her. you can even ask her doctor what he/she thinks they may think it's to soon too espically if she is small.
