How to encourage LO to drink more milk?

Any suggestions? DD will not drink a lot of anything if it's in a sippy, but will chug if it's offered in a bottle. I don't want to offer bottles if I don't have to, but it's been more than a month like this, and she's not making any progress.

    Why don't you want to give her the bottle? Honestly, her not taking the sippy cup is probably her way of telling you that she isn't ready for it yet. If you are intent of getting her to take the sippy cup now, I would make a big deal out of every time she takes a drink. Clap, laugh, congratulate her, generally make her feel super special when she drinks from it. That's partly how I got my little one to drink cows milk at all. But until then, make sure she gets her fluids by allowing her to drink from her bottle. They all grow up eventually, I wouldn't worry too much about weening her just yet.
