how can i Get a 11 month old to drink formula out of a sippy cup

[maybebabysoon]

my lo is 11 months old and drinks his water out of his straw sippy cup really well. i would really like him to start drinking his formula out of sippy cups to, but when i put formula in them he will have a few sips and not drink anymore.
he has 4 8oz to 9oz bottles a day. plus 3 meals and sometimes snacks. how should he drink at this age?

Are you just trying go get him used to drinking his milk out of a sippy or cutting bottles out cold turkey? I would just keep trying with the cup and wean his bottles out slowley, but I don't think it is a huge issue at that age to get them off the bottle.

Try offering it at meal times with the milk in his sippy and hopefully he will start taking it better over time. My kids nurse but even once they wean they won't drink milk (cows milk or breast milk) in a cup so they get there dairy other ways.

Good luck

do you I could add a little yogurt to his formula just to add a little healthy flavor. and maybe he will start drinking his milk for a sippy cup? or is this a bad idea. he chews on the nipples of his bottles and i dont want him to choke, so i want to try and get him to have less bottles.
