my daughter is almost a year so I'd like to transition her off the bottle (she gets one 2x a day 3 days a week when I work and nurses the rest of the time). she is very good at a straw cup with water and likes it. however trying breast milk in a cup - she has a little, sometimes spits it right back out, and loses interest much more quickly than with a bottle. I tried using a slightly different straw cup for the milk to lessen confusion though I'm not sure it helped.

looking to hear anyone's experience - even just to tell me this is normal and will get better as she gets used to it, and to just keep trying. honestly I am not that worried about fluids/calories since she eats plenty and nurses other times in the day, but I really hate wasting pumped milk!!
