If you have no joy after a few days, then put it away and try again a week later. Nobody went to school still drinking from a bottle, so he will get there in the end.

it is obvious that the bottle is a comfort zone for him , and children do grow out of it but a relaxed approach with this will go a long way the more you fight him on it the more he will dig his heels in, if u do as has been said by others but at the same time make a surprised mmmmmmmmmmmmm sound when your son is around and then leave the cup to one side and go away he will at some point be so curious as to the taste from a cup he will sneak a sip from yours this certianly worked with my daughter who had the same problem
