Our DS is 11 months old and we have only just managed to get him to drink water from a cup with a hole for a straw. We are trying to start his milk off in a beaker and I have spent a fortune on lots of different soft mouthpiece beakers but he flatly refuses them all. I am very aware that we can make too much of a deal of it and he will know that it is a game or an issue, but obviously he needs to be drinking his milk from a cup before he starts school and at this rate that's how long it will take! Also, he does need his daily milk intake, so always gets it from the bottle eventually and probably thinks that he's winning. I desperately need some tips.
