My ds has never taken a bottle! He was exclusively BF and we recently discovered he's allergic to cow's milk. So he's always had water in a cup since around 6months. But it was a fight to get him to take it. I started by just offering sips with his lunchtime and gradually built it up.
We have recently been weaning him onto Soya in a cup. He now takes a cup in the morning and afternoon and BF for evenings.
