So when my first DD started on a sippy, I just gave her a sippy with either water or diluted juice in it. When it came down to weaning her from her bottles of milk though, this became a problem. She wouldn't drink milk from sippies or straw cups at all. We went through a week of her resisting any milk at all to the point where her ped said just stop bottles, and give her lots of dairy foods (cheese, yogurt, etc...) and calcium supplements. After a few months of this, she finally started drinking milk again and through straw cups, but it had to be chocolate milk. I dilute it with regular milk though to cut down on the extra sugar. But to this day (almost 4 yo), she still can't drink straight up regular milk. Makes me sad because I looove milk and so did she back when they were in her bottles.

I don't want this to happen with 2.0... I want her to be able to drink milk from sippies and straw cups from the get go. But she's just 6 months and EBF. Do I put breastmilk in the cups? I feel like it will all just go to waste while she learns how to use it.

What do you put in sippies and straw cups? When did you start?
