when u transitioned to whole milk from formula.......sippy cup or bottle?

Ok so my dd currently drink 4 bottles a day about 4-6 oz each bottle of formula. She will be one this month so I am sure peds will give me the ok to switch to milk.

She also has mastered the sippy cup but currently we only give her water in it....

So my ques....when u switch to milk, and if u had a child that was able to drink from sippy did u give up bottle too or no? I feel bad taking her "ba" away! Did u split it ...like first and last of day from bottle and in between sippy cup? I'm confused.

DD gets water from a straw cup, and milk in a sippy cup. I transititioned her from BM to whole milk when she started refusing the bottle. At first I put the BM in the sippy cup, then when I gave up pumping I started giving whole milk in the sippy. She's never had whole milk in anything other than a sippy or a big girl cup.

To this day, Abby wont take milk in a sippy. She drinks juice and water from a sippy or cup with a straw, but never milk. She needs the milk for nutrition since she eats so little so I let her have her bottle for milk. She won't walk down the aisle drinking milk from a bottle so I see it as a battle not worth fighting. Im going to have enough of those when she enters her teens.
