i've decided to forego the battle of getting DD take a bottle and will breastfeed her until 1, at which point I will start to introduce cow's milk in a cup.
In readiness for this, I offer her a cup of water at every meal, but she is only interested in banging it about and pouring it on herself; not in drinking from it. Even when I hold it up for her, 9 times out of 10 she refuses it.
I'm guessing she's just not tempted by what's in the cup, i.e. water - but I'm really loathe to put juice in it, even watered-down juice.
On the other hand, I need her to learn how to use a cup. Any ideas or suggestions? :)
