Please send your wisdom my way. Jack is having a tough transition from bottle to sippy cup. He takes the cup for snack times, but for meal times- no way. Any brilliant ideas?
you could register at dfwareamoms.com then you can find all kinds of moms and get all kinds of advice (and dr. recommendations, etc) That's the only advice I have since I'm less experienced than you in the mom-department
Have you tried the sippy type cups with straws that pop up? When I directed the YMCA daycare, the kids that didn't like sippy's always liked those - they're just annoying to keep completely clean in the straw if you use anything besides water. If I were you I'd pick one up at Wal-mart or Target just to try. I introduce sippy's at 6 months and it helps a lot! My friend skips sippy's and goes straight to cups at one year, but then you're limited to water bottles in the car.
I know I'm late commenting but if you're still frustrated, the thing that worked for Koby was the soft spout cups with handles( Walmart), and then I just refused to give him a bottle and we only had one rough night and he was fine, he amazingly love his sippy after we ditched the bottle.

Perhaps "sharing" it with a friend at church is the ultimate answer?
