Sippy cup

I am trying to make Austin to use a sippy cup since he was about 6 months old. Now he is one year old and still haven't used a sippy cup. We went to Austin's doctor, his doctor told me that I have to stop giving him a bottle so Austin will have to learn how to use a sippy cup and forget about the bottle. I told his doctor, Austin doesn't care if he is thirst. If I give him a sip cup, he refused to take it and won't drink at all. I don't want him to be dehydrated if he does not drink at all. Sometimes, it's embarrassing for me to give him a bottle in the pubic because people would think I am a lazy mother for not trying to give him a sippy cup. I think babies with heart defect don't have normal appetites for drink or food. I have to feed him very well whenever he does not feel like to eat or drink. I have heard few mothers of baby with heart defect do have same problems as Austin's. I will keep trying to give him a sippy cup.
