Toddler drinking from cups

Hi! My DS is 16 months and ever since he turned 1 his very old school pedi has been telling me to get him to drink out of "regular" cups. We have switched to all sippys and/or straw cups - there's no way he could use a cup without intentionally dumping the contents out. But I wonder when and how you transitioned to a real open top cup?

Thanks!

    We have been letting DD drink out of a cup (while we hold it) since she was around 12-13 months, she is 15 months now.  She spills it all over herself usually but is getting the concept of sipping (she used to lick the water like a cat).  She is drinking out of a straw cup with a lid without help but we do give her the opportunity to drink out of a regular cup whenever we have the chance.  My guess is the more we do it with her the better she will get at it but no hurry.
