What is the best sippy cup to use?

My 20 month old will not drink milk out of a sippy cup only water or juice. The bottle he prefers for milk and cuddling with mom. I really need to get him off the bottle but the sippy cup my older son used is discontinued. This is a very stubborn kid and I made the mistake around 15 months of giving into him with the bottle when he was sick and cutting teeth. Any help is appreciated. Please no "he is too old for a bottle" - I know he is. Thanks.

    Have you tried the sippy cups with soft spouts? Those tend to make it easier for the transition from bottles to sippy cups, or it did for my son at least.

    I used the Nuby soft spout ones at first and now he uses the Nuby Straw cups.

    The closest we got to a sippy cup was a Kleen Kanteen...they have one with nozzles if you think he needs that. Otherwise, open cups works just fine for children of any age.

    Sippy cups are all the same. They are sippy cups. They have a plastic flask and a little nub for sipping. Some like rubbery nubs and some like the hard plastic nubs. They are all sippy cups. Buy a couple and see which one repulses him more. Then use the other one.
