DD2 is 10.5mths and still wont take EBM, i am going to try a cup with a straw and see how she goes.
At night she is fed to sleep and she doesn't take a dummy so it's hard to leave her with anyone, now she's having 3 solid meals a day plus snacks i am thinking i can work in a chance to slip away during the day, she can have food & water and then a feed when i'm home....
Will be watching for more ideas in case she wont take it.
My DS was fed to sleep but we were still able to go out ocasionally and leave him with his granma. he went to sleep for her (no ebm, wouldn't have it either). He'd often wake again just after we got home and have his milk then.
You can try a sippy cup from about 4months. I found the Heinz basics range quite good but the easiest option is the take and toss cups. No valves with is important. The valves require coordination and a strong sucking technique.
