Bottle to beaker

Help please! I am trying to get my 1 year old to drink from a beaker throughout the day and it has been the worst couple of days! Over the time since he was 6 months I've tried all sorts and then tried them again. He won't touch a drink all day long and just screams his head off!

Are you still offering bottles at all, in the evening or whatever? If so either get id of them completely, throw them away and go cold turkey, or only offer water in a bottle and provide any more appealing drinks (milk, diluted juice) in a beaker.

Yes I've been trying all drinks in a beaker, but since he doesn't eat much he's still on formula so I ended up giving him his night time milk in a bottle

Have you tried an open cup or a sports bottle?

Yes I have. He can't do it himself just tips it upside down.:(

At that age I could only really get my DD to drink from a tea pot in the bath.
