Hi Micheala,
our son is 19 months old and he really loves his cup, it was not difficult for him to leave the bottle because he saw his sister use the cup and he wanted to do the same since he was like 13 months old.
I think may be you can use the avent cup, because it is soft like the nipple from the bottle, and the can use it like one too, you can also put the nipple instead, may be that can make the cup more familiar to him. And also you can show him other babies using their cups.
Good luck, and do not worried he will leave the bottle sooner or latter.

have it when he goes to sleep. I have asked the doctor about taking it
away, but he says not until he will drink from any sippy cup you give him.
Now that is our problem!! He won't drink from a cup. He does however like
to drink from a straw. I found one toddler cup that has a straw but he
won't drink from it. Does anyone have an idea of a cup with a leak proof
straw or any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.
