Hi,


The health visitor has recommended by 13 month old starts taking her milk from beakers, has anyone got a good recommendation for a first one? Apparently as close as possible to a bottle teat is good, and I'm guessing it's better to keep it separate from the water sippy cup. Also, I'm a bit hesitant about converting the bedtime milk into a beaker, is that really essential? It just seems more comforting from a bottle.

I've ended up using a bog standard sippy cup, different colour from her water cup - but my daughter never took a bottle so didn't have that particular dilemma. It did take a long while, and several different purchases, to drink from the cup (any cup!), but we got there in the end.
At 16 months have just dropped the bedtime BF and have been offering a little beaker of milk instead to ease the transition. We have just given the milk in a normal sippy cup - the same sort as we give water in - and all is going well. But like oimissus' little one, Baby Knomester has never had a bottle, so I'm not sure whether that makes any difference.

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
