bf and sippy cups

My lo is 7 months old and I'm debating introducing a sippy cup but am worried she may prefer the sippy cup to the breast? What were your experiences? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!!

at 7 months my DD preferred nothing over the boobie, lol
We started a cup with BM around 5 months and it took her til almost 9 months to really even want it.

My DH said something similar too ;) I'm a first time mom and the first in my family to bf so I feel clueless about some of this, Thanks!!

Piper would never take a bottle, and really didn't like the cup. She has learned to like since I am weaning, lol

My son LOVES sippy cups and we have been giving it to him since 4 1/2 months old with water and he's 5 months old now and is breastfed. When he's hungry, he'll just chew on it instead of drinking the water lol.

Never hurts to try but when it comes down to it though, most breastfed babies before the breast over anything else when they are really hungry or needing the comfort.
