My little fella wont take a bottle - fullstop - tried lots of different combos - so we have moved to cup - as Teru said - I have bought the avent sippy attachments - and believe it or not he prefers to have it free flowing so just take the plastic off the back of the attachment - of course he cant do it by himself with no control of milk just yet - but he gets with idea.
Whatever type you get - I thik taking the plastic thing off for them to have a first suck of what is in it - and then putting it back on so they know what they are aiming for - is a good idea. Otherwise they have no idea to start with when they are little why they have this thing in their mouths which is nothing like a nipple
I started dd at about 6 month on the nuby straw cup, and now at 12 months loves it, for water. I started with the long straw bit taken out and just the top attached so could tip it up, then added the rest back in once she got the hang of it.
My boys started drinking EBM from a sippy cup at around 3 -4 months as they wouldn't take bottles. There are a few different sorts that you can try. DS1 started with a mag mag cup, and DS2 started with his brother's take and toss cup! Some kids are fussy with them, others will drink from anything. GL hun!
We are starting DD on her sippy cup in 2 wks when we start her on rice cereal and pureed foods!! (exciting!). We just bought the Nuby one as i've heard lots of babies like those one's and it was on special. It has a soft spout.
I'm going to give DD EBM in it rather than water at this stage. Not sure if she'll take it or not though but it's worth a try....
