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!

    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
