Alternative to the Sippy Cup?

My son is 8 months old and I want to start introducing the cup; however, I have read so many negatives about using a sippy cup. Is there an alternative to the sippy cup? I have seen articles about using straw cups but I wanted to know what others have used or if the standard is the sippy cup.

Switching to Milk

My son is going to be one year soon and I just started the transition to whole milk. I am trying to give him a cup with each meal, which so far is going okay. My question is, do I also need to get him off the bottle. He has been using a sippy cup occassionally up to now and has been fine with it, but now is refusing it, especially in the morning/night. A few people have told me that whatever I do, don't give him milk in his bottle or I'll never get him off the bottle. We are gradually switching him to milk (one ounce of milk replacing one...

From Formula to Milk

My baby is now 1 and has been given the green light to switch to cow's milk. I have given him a bottle of it and he seemed fine with it. He didn't even flinch at the new flavor. But a part of me still wants to give him formula. I suppose that cow's milk has all of the same vitamins and minerals, but have any of you just continued on with formula even though you could give cow's milk? My baby is so in love with his bottle... he still has about 4 per day. I don't know when or how I should wean him, since he's not interested in a sippy cup...

Help with Weaning (Milk Allergy)

I have a 13 month old daughter who has a milk allergy. She is exclusively breastfed, and never took the bottle (no matter how many times we tried). She does take water out of a cup with a straw. I'd like to wean her. We're limited on formula's due to her milk allergy. We've tried soy formula, peptamen junior (had allergic reaction) and now elecare. She's okay with taking a sip here and there(either a sigg water bottle or a nuby bottle with handles) , but will not drink enough for me to wean her. I don't know what the problem is -...

Weaning Child with Milk & Soy Issues

My son is almost a year and I want to start weaning him, but it looks like he won't be able to drink dairy (even lactose free) or soy milk. He has an intolerance to both, not a true allergy. He has acid reflux and eating either makes it much worse. Has anyone had this problem? What do I give him besides water and juice? It seems like rice milk isn't recommended and it's not very healthy. We have a family history of an almond allergy, so I haven't tried that. I'm desperate to be done nursing, since I can't eat dairy or soy either. Help!

Sippy Cups and Whole Milk

I have a thirteen-month old son, and I'm trying to transition him from bottles and formula to sippy cups and whole milk. He will only drink water out of sippy cups, and I can't get him to drink whole milk. I've tried mixing milk and formula, but if the mixture is more than 1/3 milk, he'll reject it. I've also tried warming the milk, but he won't take it that way, either. Does anyone have ideas of how to get him to take milk and drink out of sippy cups?
