baby won't drink anything but me

Anyone have an problems with this?  10 month old won't suck on anything besides me.  She chews on her sippy cups.  Will she eventually learn?  I don't want her to get dehydrated.

Yes she will get it. Have you tried a straw cup? EBF babies tend to do well with those.

Do you need her to take fluid from elsewhere? E.g. because you're going back to work or trying to wean. If not I'd just carry on BFing until she gets it.
