Moving away from 'Baby Bottles'

My 14 month old is fully on cows milk but we are struggling to get her away from her MAM milk bottles. She will drink from other cups - sippy and straw bottle but only a little bit when it's milk and then say no, whereas when she has a MAM bottle she will have around 240ml at a time. Does anyone have any tips to help transition away from them?

Can’t help but I have this problem too.

So we have this too she won’t take milk from anything else so we’re going to try and be consistent offering in a different cup every evening and if she doesn’t want it then we won’t do milk in the evening any more as she gets enough calcium elsewhere. Not sure if that’s any help mind, sorry x

We had this to she’s only just now started taking her night bottle from a tum straw cup, so we have no more bottles been about 2 weeks now. I did try but she just kept pushing it away or wouldn’t have much of it, I just kept trying and then one night she just took to it. I wouldn’t put pressure on it to much and think they will 100% do it when they ready. My little girl must have just had thought I’m ready now and is happy to have it from the straw cup x

@Alyssa that's reassuring to hear! Did you only offer the straw cup for those 2 weeks?

I offered but if she wouldn’t that it I swapped it into the bottle until she was happy to just take the straw cup
