Hello there. I have a 12 month old and her pediatrician told me its best to start weening her from the bottle. Well she is fine with a sippy cup normally. She drinks water from them all day but she refuses to drink milk out of them. I tried several different types, nothing helps. Is there anything I can do to help sway her to loose the bottle? I dont want to not give her milk unless she drinks out of it because that's still a big part of her nutrition. But I am making zero progress with the sippy cup. I give her a cup of milk every day with her meals and she wont touch it. But if I put water there she will drink down the water. I am hoping one day she will want to actually use the sippy cup with milk but shes to the point now if she sees milk in it she wont even try it. Any advice?

we HAVE to get formula into her, because she has food allergies and it's the only dairy substitute we can give her. other than coconut milk yogurt, and even that doesn't have enough protein. (and really, how much coconut milk yogurt can a person eat in a day.)
so now we're back to bottles. for us, part of the problem is she doesn't like to drink formula cold. so we're now mixing it with tepid water.
