Ignore them and do what you feel is best for your child.

How the fuck does WIC control the cup you use with your son??

I would do what you are doing. YOu know your child better than wic people do. 

Maybe offer him a cup without a lid once a day or so or something like that. But I wouldn't totally get rid of the sippy cup. I feel that a child should have liquids whenever they are thirsty. Unless they are using the drink to not be hungry so they don't have to eat something they may not want at the time.

Your son just turned a year old. There are a LOT, and I mean a LOT of things changing in you and your son's life right now. I would do whatever you feel most comfortable doing. IF that means sticking to the sippy cup then by all means do so.

You are the mom. You know best.

I never gave my daughter a sippy. She has always used a regular cup. The spout of a sippy cup is bad for their teeth.
