15 month old and bottles

Any suggestions on getting my 15 month old to drink milk from a cup?

She loves water from a cup - she uses either a sippy cup or an open cup. And she loves milk from a bottle - probably has about 16 oz / 400ml per day usually, across 2/3 bottles.

But if I give her milk in a cup, she either sips it and immediately spits it out, or just tips it straight on the floor. We've been trying it off and on for months - always the same.

For what it's worth, she's a good eater, loves cheese and yoghurt, and is above the 90th percentile. Should I just give up on milk?

Does she have milk with cereal? There are many ways of getting milk without actually drinking a glass of milk. Lots of people don't like drinking it and at fifteen months, your daughter will have developed taste buds.

If she eats well and it sounds though she does and is getting on fine, I wouldn't worry.
