Toddler drinking

Hi everyone,
My 16 month old will drink from sippy cups and sports cap bottles, but nowhere near as much as from a bottle. If we give him a bottle (not of milk) he will happy drink the whole thing, where he'll only take a few sips from the other sorts. This is leading us to still giving him some drink in a bottle, and he doesn't seem to be increasing consumption from the other types. There are days we don't give him a bottle, except milk at bedtime, but those days he basically doesn't hydrate anywhere near as well. Has anyone else experienced this or got any tips to try?

Have you tried a weighted straw cup? These are the type my boy drinks best from.

Hes 16 months. That’s normal

My boy went onto a mam cup with a spout because it was all he would drink from after coming off the boob. He now drinks from a munchkin 360 as we're phasing out the teats as they break.
