Bottle or cup

Posted: Thu, Mar 27 2008, 8:53 am Post subject: bottle or cup

DS is 15 months old and I've tried a cup a while ago, but it didn't work.
Now, he drinks goat milk, but lately it is mostly playing with the bottle than drinking. I am not sure if it is "I stopped loving milk" stage or a sign that bottles should be finished?

I'm not sure either, but regardless - you should be trying to stop the bottle at this time. 15 months is definitely old enough to drink from a cup. If that is too messy for you, get those sippy cups with straws (not the regular sippy cup).

I don't know either which one it is, but have you tried giving him cow's milk (don't know if it's a diff taste)? Also, if the problem is the milk, my dr said that chocolate milk is better than no milk.

try the nubby cup, thats the only cup ds would take at first I stopped give ing him a bottle when he was 1 years old and drinking milk, later on he took anything, but its a great starter cup.

FYI, there are quite a few Nuby cups....
I would use a straw cup. Pesach is a convenient time to get rid of bottles Wink
