Baby girl refusing milk from cup or bottle - need some tips!

[SqueakyD]

Hi

My eight month old won't drink milk from a beaker or from a doidy cup. She has been exclusively breastfed but i would like to gradually cut down on this so she can have the majority of her milk feeds from a beaker or cup. She's never drank from anthing other than me!

Any top tips?

You don't want to give her a bottle? Or she won't take a bottle?

My 6-month old is exactly the same! I introduced the bottle with expressed milk a couple of wks after she was born but it has never been an easy thing - crying and beating my chest for more boob! I bought some bottles that seemed to work (after many days and much wasted formul) for 1-2 feeds daily but suddenly she has done a giant U-turn and is hysterical again. Anyone got some advise here as I need a life that does not revolve around taking her everywhere in case she refuses the bottle from Daddy, Granny etc but also cannot stand to see her so upset
