She is 7 months old tomorrow and still won't drink from a cup! I have tried using one of those cups with a hole in the lid, a cup with a spout, and an open cup. I have tried using diluted bm in the hopes that the scent/taste will encourage her. I get the same response every time, she turns her head away from it and even shakes her head at it - v cute but frustrating! I started offering a drink with meals when i started weaning her just slighlty before 6 months. She is breastfed + doesn't normally have a bottle and I am doing BLW. I am currently the only source of fluids for her, this can't be ok can it? Help!

she doesn't need a cup
she will be getting enough fluid from the BM & food
just keep offering the cup, she will work it out eventually

You could also try a doidy cup which you can get from John Lewis (or online - google doidy)

But tbh The Blonde is right - my DS drinks from his a bit but mostly blows bubbles
