We started with offering water in a sippy at meal time then started putting his formula in it in replacement of the bottle. We added one sippy of formula a day until he was completely off. He took to the sippy no problem
I gave him like a week of trying sippys instead and giving in with the bottle when he didn't want the sippy.... Then completely took it away. It was a VERY HARD week. Lots of crying. It worked though. Then for a couple months my mom and baby daddy would still give him the bottle!!! Said he wouldn't drink or wouldn't stop crying. I kept having to start over. I ended up throwing them allllll away and he had no choice but to drink from a sippy. I also had to buy one of every kind until I found a kind he really liked and then bought a bunch of those.
I started with cups during the day, bottles only in the morning. He caught on pretty quickly, but only once I used the straw cups. Regular sippys he did not like at all. At about 18m we stopped with the straws and used the 360 cups.
I honestly just brought a straw sippy cup one day and took away all the bottles and my daughter took to the sippy cup in like 5 mins and after that we haven’t used any bottles

For me personally I started using sippy cups in moderation with the bottle then eventually stopped bottle and had them on sippy cup or a snack. Hth.
