The problem with the Sippy cup is the flow is very fast and uncontrolled... not safe yet... does the baby have noisy breathing lately as that might cause the baby to avoid the bottles. And are u using age appropriate bottles???
Next Steps
Try feeding him in katori chammach .. and intermittently try feeding him with bottles.
Health Tips
Try breastfeeding him as much as u can if ur lactation is intact. Take care.
