Sippy cup necessary?

Is it a must to train baby sippy cup to wean off milk bottles? He is already 20 months. He refused to drink from sippy cup or straw cup. Any other way to train?

Its not really necessary. Sippy cups was invented to make weaning off bottle easier and start drinking normally with a cup or straw. If your child refuses you can try some other steps to get him to get use to sippy cups. Examples: Dip the spout into breast milk or formula before giving it to your baby. ... Switch halfway through a feeding. ... Modify the sippy spout. ... Work in reverse order. ... Offer your baby a straw. ... Try other beverages. ... Show your baby how it's done.
