Have you tried a straw cup with her? You can move to cups anytime you like, the only reason for bottles really is that they are easier to drink out of and they tend to take less in with a cup. There's no reason not to try though!

I always used the non-valve sippy cups based on the fact that I couldn't get anything out of the valved ones so couldn't work out how a baby was supposed to! We always used the tommee tippee first cups with the flip spouts, we still do in fact!
