Alteratives to bottle feeding - how young has anyone use a cup from?

[crabby]

DD is 10 weeks old and steadfastly bottle refusing.

Has anyone had success with cup feeding in this situation? Are you supposed to use those little cups that we used in hospital when she was born (5 weeks early, hence delay in BF)? Can you get enough into them with this lapping technique? Or do you use sippy cups? When is the earliest sippy cups are used? Has anyone had success with a sippy cup after a bottle refuser?

Thank you so much for advice!

Please!

Here's a link about alternative feeding methods. DD was a bottle refuser and I introduced a cup from about 20 weeks. If I'd had the need to though I would have tried earlier. She did take a while to get the hang of it but I know others have had more luck. I found this quite good for DD

I used the lid of a bottle to feed expressed milk to DS during his first week as he wouldn't breastfeed. Very messy but it worked!

We used a cup in my absence when DS was probably around 4 or 5 months (infrequent but for an hour or two sometimes), just a sippy one but with a rubber spout, Avent I think. He just about drowned but managed with lots of help.

By 6 months it was no problem at all.

Bottles were always a no go, and now I am glad because it's one less step to deal with removing

Mine used a cup from 4 months. Usually for water, but occasionally for ebm. he refused bottles at about 4 mths. They start to know their own mind from that age!!!!!
