I am trying to figure out how to transition from breastfeeding to the sippy cup as I have been at home working with our son and was just breastfeeding instead of pumping as it became easier and I had a lot of milk that went to waste. My son is turning one next week.

In reply to Angelina. Either one is fine :) Whichever your child prefers!

Is it better to transition to a straw sippy cup or something like the 360 Munchkin that’s more like an open cup? My 13 month old knows how to use both during mealtimes (we’re still trying to replace bottles in morning/evening, those are hard)! Such a helpful article, thank you!

Thank you so much for all the information. We are 12 months here and not digging milk from the sippy. We will persevere!

Hi, Karen — I feel you! It’s tough for some kiddos… Let us know how it goes — many moms find that repetition is the key. Even sticking with it for only a few days can sometimes do the trick. I personally favored the NUK sippies for making the transition. It basically “tricked” my daughter into still thinking she was getting her bottle, and we took it from there. Best of luck!!

I’ve been trying to transition my son who is 20 months now but he just throws the biggest tantrums at night when its time for bed with his bottle! I will definitely try the drinking milk with dinner instead. Are there any other tips you have that could help me if it doesn’t work? and what cup is your favorite for the transition?

Hi, Jenna! Unfortunately there’s no magic formula… it was a process for me. I found that offering milk in something other than a bottle definitely helped a lot (slowed things down). (In fact, this alone probably had the biggest impact in terms of simply cutting down on milk intake.) But there were a lot of tears and tantrums along the way. I was very liberal with my daughter’s pacifier use through this entire time, and basically enacted a combination of weaning and cutting out the bottle cold turkey. Good luck! Let us know how it goes 🙂

Do you mind lending some insight into how you weaned your 18 mo off of so much milk? I’m in a similar situation but don’t even know how/where to start!
