Sippy cup?
| Sun, 12-10-2006 - 11:14am |
My Baby Noelle will be 1 on Dec 16th. She loves her bottle still and I know that I should start weaning her to a sippy cup but it is a source of pain for me. I mean she just loves her bottle. She has about 3-4 per day after she eats some baby food or soft table food. is it really such a big deal to take her off the bottle right now? I have given her a sippy cup with juice several times but she is just not grasping the concept of sucking on it, she just uses it as a teether and chomps on the spout. I had a similar issue with my first daughter and I cant remember what I did to wean her since that was almost 8 years ago.

Honestly, the bottle thing after a year doesnt bother me too much. I have a 13 month old, and he is down to one bottle a day before bedtime. I started giving him a sippy cup at about 5 months and it did take awhile before he knew what to do, but he got the hang of it quickly. I would maybe try to take one bottle away at a time, if you really want her off of it. Or when you usually give her a bottle, give her the sippy cup. She will get the hang of it. If I were you I would only be putting formula/milk in the bottle. If you start giving her water, juices,etc.. in her bottle, she will never want a sippy cup
