How do you start getting baby to drink from a cup? I show him and give it to hold but not interested in putting it to his mouth.

How old is your baby? I think at first most of them are still getting enough fluids from their milk so it's not much of an issue. Just a case of letting them play with the cup Smile

Hold it to his mouth and tip if gently. Or use a feeder cup.

Just place it on the tray when you offer food. There's no rush Smile

I fed my baby it. I found he struggle with a sippy so got a nuby one. It’s a transition cup which is more sucky and the plastic is more flexible. Then at about 8 months we transitioned to a proper sippy cup. He likes his water with his food and generally got used to it fairly quickly
