Hi all
well I seem to be getting in a knot as made the mistake of reading a booklet from the (useless) health visitor!
Max still has his milk from bottles ( still 4 times a day but that's another story!) He is 11 months old.
I have read that by a year they should have their milk froma cup / beaker etc and I should have started getting him used to this at 6 months!!
I have been trying him on an Avent beaker for a few months but he is not that keen on it. ( with water in)
Just wondered what other peoples expericene of this was and is it OK still to use bottles, for how long etc?? Don't want to baby him for too long if that is not he right thing!
Am also struggling to get him to take water or even juice, so worried about what happens once the milk is cut down and if he will be hydrated enough?
Also, I tend to give him 3 meals a day, 2 courses each but thiss ame booklet indicated he should be having snacks as well: my gut feeling is he does not need this at the moment but what do you do with your 11 month ish old??
thanks for listening , am having one of those days where am doubting I am doing anything right!!!
