Hi Vally
Since ur baby is 9m now. I think, its better to introduce sippy only. Forget bottle. I am saying this because, after 4-5 months u will anyways shift to sippy. So, I think, u concentrate on sippy only. I am assuming she is able to sit nicely by now.
There is 1 sippy cup which has a soft chewable mouth. I introduced that sippy. My son was teething and he used to enjoy biting on that sippy. In this process water used to drip in his mouth. Slowly i moved to the non-soft mouth sippy.
Dont worry. She will slowly learn.
All the best
