For various reasons, we did not push cup training prior to 11 months
with our 4th baby. (With my other children we got them using the cup at
about 8 or 9 months and finished using bottles at 12 months.) She is
really resistant to using the cup. Any suggestions, things to try?

Try teaching her to use a straw. My kids learned to use a straw around 8-9
months old. An easy way to start teaching her this is by putting a straw in
a juice box and squeezing it just a tiny bit. It will also work with a
lidded paper cup She'll probably get the hang of it pretty quickly.
