Transition to a cup but toddler got sick and went back to bottle?
I finally transitioned my toddler to a cup (21 months old) regular cup, not sippy for milk.
she had a fever for 7 days and got pneumonia. She was dehydrated, not drinking much at all. could hardly move some days. I switched back to bottle. She is now on antibiotics and starting to feel better.
I would like to go back to cup but she asks for milk then when i give it to her in a cup she just says no.
should I try to transition now or wait till the 10 days of antibiotic are up and go cold turkey with the no more bottles?

I think right now, just let her body heal. Then you can take away the bottles and do sippy cups or regular cups. If she won't drink enough with a regular cup then offer her a sippy cup or a cup with a straw.
There are several ideas and tips on weaning from the bottle at: http://www.toddler-tips-and-tricks.com/give-up-bot...

Your child is nearly 2. She should have been done with bottles months ago. There is no "transitioning", just give her the cup. If she wants it, she will drink it.
I've no idea why you think the antibiotics are relevant. Offer her sufficient water, you could also offer extra watery fruit (apples, melon etc). If she is not dehydrated now, then what's the issue?
