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.

      I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another?
