cup feeding and sippy cups for bottle haters


Recommended Posts

My 4 month old won't take a bottle. We've tried everything, and I can't bear to see her getting all worked up about it.


Does anyone have experience of successfully getting a baby to drink expressed milk from a cup or sippy cup at this age? Do you have any recommendations on which cup to try?

My daughter wouldn't take a bottle either. I tried pretty much every brand. NUK trainer bottle saved the day (Ocado sell them). I think I started trying her with it around 5 months although it wasn't until she went to nursery at 7mo that she started taking it well. It has a soft free flow spout, the opening is small so she did have to suck to get the milk rather than it pouring out. Feel free to PM, I was pretty stressed as she went to nursery only drinking about 30ml (on a good day) but soon got the hang of it when I wasn't around!

    • I've started going to Morrisons in Peckham and have been pleasantly surprised at their range of products. Shopping in Sainsburys  DKH is such as trial now, no staff, inconvenient malfunctioning machines and a general feeling that customers can go and take  running jump.
    • 'valiant'. How patronising.
    • @malumbu @Earl Aelfheah @outoffocus - @Admin@quickmove perhaps ouoffocus is not a real person - @march46 can you help identifying the culprits? How do I contact @cleanairdulwich? What is / are the email address / es? Can  I please have the names of people involved in @cleanairdulwich?  Is it a private organisation? If so,  who is behind it? Is it an organisation connected to @Southwark Council - if so, can we please have more information?                              
    • This is the chart that the DFT published last week that triggered the Cycling Weekly article. Clearly, nationally, something isn't working and I wonder if the approach taken needs a complete rethink and overhaul as if this is the result of a £2bn investment then clearly it is not delivering any ROI - but isn't a 2% or so increase what has been seen in the City of London (per Carlton Reid's "More bikes than cars in the city now" article) so maybe this is consistent in cities too and 2% increase is all that anywhere has seen?
