Thats what I do - except Arianna wont take from a beaker She drinks perfectly from a proper cup but not from a beaker!! So she gets her water from a cup and then her milk in bottles.

I read that you shouldn't use bottles once baby gets to 6 months or has their first tooth. It was in a 'baby's teeth' info sheet.

That said, I only just read it so Maddie was still having her milk from a bottle until she was 18 months old and all other drinks from a beaker.

I think milk is ok - it's just juice from a bottle when they have teeth as it increases the risk of tooth decay with the sugars etc in the juice

No - it actually says juice should NEVER be given in a bottle, and that milk shouldn't be given in a bottle after 6 months .

As I say Maddie had a bottle for 18 months so it's a little late for me!

i still give milk from a bottle & water from a beaker or sometimes from a bottle, Louie doesn't have juice though as he will drink water which is good

Encourage her to use a beaker and then a cup when shes ready, but still give her a bottle too for her milk.

I bought the tommee tippee magic cup and my LO will not drink from it at all. I thought the teat on the bottle was more free flowing than the beaker.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas. Sorry for crashing your post hun!!!!!!

We've got a MAM cup which is harder to suck out of than the Tommy Tippee one.

That's still a bit fast flow for Stanley and he chokes.

He's always taken his water out of a cup though, and milk from a bottle.

I like him to be able to tell the difference.
