She actually transitioned really well to drinking milk cold turkey which made me happy. I don't warm the milk and I serve it in her straw cup with breakfast and lunch. She'll usually drink from it after her meal is finished. The first day, she wasn't a fan at all and we ended up putting it in the bottle instead, but today she drank both servings (about 4-5 oz each) from the cup. At night, we've still been giving her the last serving of milk (8 oz) in the bottle - but I hope to drop this within the week or so and split it into two smaller servings throughout the day. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transition-from-bottle-to-cup#post-1284861 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 16:11:00 +0000 septca 1284861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are a million lessons on weaning out there, but most seem to work with a bottle, where you start mixing BM/formula with milk and gradually adjust the proportions until you are at 100% milk.</p> <p>I don't want to do that because I want DD to drink her milk from a sippy/straw cup and I want her to drink it cold.</p> <p>We started introducing cold WCM in a straw cup with meals at about 9 months. She gradually caught on and most days will drink a bit (ranging from one sip to a couple of ounces) at each meal. But it's not consistent. Starting next month, I would like to transition her from nursing/warm BM in bottle to cold milk in a sippy for all of her daytime feeds. I plan to BF at wake up and bedtime for as long as I can/she's interested.</p> <p>So - any advice on getting her to start drinking more from a cup and dropping the bottle? Did anyone have sleep problems when they made this transition? </p>
