My dd is 2years old, and i decided that enough was enough i'd take away her bottles and give her a beaker. i have tried many times before to get her to use a beaker but she does not want to. I have bought many different types but none of them worked. But after succesfully giving her a beaker of juice on 2 occasions i decided now is probably the right time. She has been having juice and milk from a beaker for 5 or 6days now. At first i knew it would take some time to get used to it but i've started getting worried that she is not drinking enough. She will refuse to drink from her beaker for hours and them when she gives in she'll have 1 sip and refuse anymore. she has only had 1beaker of juice today untill i eventually gave in and gave her a bottle. But only because i knew she was dehydrated by the strong smell of her urine and colour in nappy. What can i do? shall i give up and go back to bottles? Please help.

Should I carry on giving my daughter a beaker or go back to bottle?
