Day 2 - Friday I tried one of her sippy cups. I put her formula into it thinking if she had milk she might be more likely to take it. She absolutely refused to take it out of the cup so I caved and put it into her bottle. I thought maybe it was an issue of her not liking that particular cup. Day 2 - disaster.
Sat we went to Dan Nicholas Park. I packed a sippy cup but she wasn't that interested. To be fair, she wasn't interested in food or bottles so I didn't push it. Day 3 - boo.
Sun was super busy and I never even tried to give her a cup. Oops.
Yesterday I tried a cup that I found that had a spout that looked similar to a bottle nipple. I thought that it would be a good one to try b/c she might think it was a new bottle and would just take to it w/o problem. She actually tried to drink from it but after a few sips she spit it out over and over so I switched her milk to the bottle.
ARGH. Today I have a cup out for her w/juice but she has ZERO interest in this. I just don't know what to do. I've tried milk. I've tried just leaving a cup out for her to play w/ and to just get used to it. I am pretty stubborn but she takes stubborn to a whole new level. I realize she's just 8 mo now but I want her completely weaned from the bottle by 1 yr and I just feel like I'm running out of time.
Guess I just have to keep at it. Mission Sippy Cup continues....

Have you tried first thing in the morning? Or whenever it is that she's really hungry? Don't know if that would work but I suppose it's worth a try.
