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!

    • With the right type of feeder arrangement the access by parakeets, squirrels and rats can be eliminated completely. Likewise, the spread of disease can be minimised. The best method is to hang individual feeders inside a wire  cage that has a 2"x2" mesh on all sides that is mounted above ground. Being above ground it stops slugs and rats getting in. And with mesh on the bottom,the risk of transmitting disease from any droppings is eliminated. Small birds feel safe from predators in three These cages are available online for about £33
    • It is worthwhile noting that the original technical meaning was 'a reduction of 10%', which does not, to my mind, chime at all with 'drastically reduce'. I know that's how it is, I think lazily, often used nowadays but it does allow 'decimate' to be used so loosely that it loses meaning. And it can be confusing to those who know it's original meaning. I think that the fact that decimate and devastate are close homonyms does not help things here. 
    • Hi, I'm after a length of plastic or aluminium pipe, 40-50mm diameter and at least 600mm long. An unwanted offcut of plumbing soil pipe would be ideal. Many thanks!
    • But as language changes, it is no longer the "true" definition!
