How do you get your baby off bottle?

Question

My son is 10 months and doesn’t drink out of anything really besides the 360 cup and he still struggles on that. 
I have tried multiple sippy cups and he hasn’t got it down yet. 
How do I get him off the bottle by 1 If he doesn’t like sippy cups? He just chews on them and doesn’t lift them up. 
I’m a first time mom and it just seems unrealistic at the moment.

Answer

I know it sounds cliche, but every baby is different. I have 4 kids and one was fine with a sippy cup at 6 months, one not until closer to age 2. My youngest is 13m and just now is starting to be able to use the sippy cup. BTW the one who used the sippy cup the earliest actually has the biggest over bite than the other 3. So I would keep trying, but don't worry about it too much. The biggest problem is judgment from others, not the bottle lol

Answer

Don’t set a timeline for it. My son went until 18 months drinking water from a bottle and one day it just clicked. He learned to use a straw randomly. So then we switched to the munchkin weighted straw sippy cups. He can now drink from a water bottle and a cup at 2 years old. They recommend switching at 1 but some babies need a little more time and exposure to different sippy cups and nipples and straws.

Answer

Try the straw cups that are weighted. My son took to those and you don’t have to lift or anything.

Answer

They grow and change so much so quickly at this stage. My daughter was the same way and then about two weeks before she turned one she had no problem using the cup. I got myself a cup the same color as her 360 and would ask do you wanna drink out of a cup like mommy and that did the trick.
