what age did you intro a sippy cup?

I want to try BLW, but am going to wait awhile on the solids as my DS has/had issues with dairy and soy...and I'm not entirely certain that was all.

But I've been thinking I could introduce a sippy with breast milk, as I've got quite a freezer stash. What age did you intro a sippy cup? Also, he is only breast fed...so would intro'ing a sippy cup cause him to wean earlier?

It took DD quite awhile to get the hang of a sippy cup. She figured out the straw style ones pretty early though, around 6 months or so.

We never did.  She figured out how to use my bite-valve water bottles around ... 7mo?  I don't remember exactly when.  Then straws a bit later.  And mostly right to open cups other than the water bottles.

At around 14 months, when it was clear DD had decided to wean herself.

I introduced a straw cup at 4 months and never looked back.  It did not cause either child to wean early.  I'm still BFing DD2 at nearly 16 months.
