A. This is probably related to their learning experience. Some parents seldom use cup to offer milk when babies are learning to drink from a cup. Babies, therefore, have little experience of drinking milk from a cup. If parents often use cup to offer water, babies are likely to associate drinking cup with water.Bring one to the table with your child's plate and encourage them to give it a try. Begin by putting formula or breast milk in their cup—whatever they're drinking already. (This might feel more natural than starting with water.) As they get the hang of things, you can fill their cup with plain water at mealtimes, too.Refusal to drink milk from a sippy cup often happens right after a child is weaned from their bottle. The good news is that this refusal is often a temporary situation. As a child stops yearning for their bottle and, better yet, forget completely about it, they're able to accept milk from a cup.
