I have a nine month old baby girl who has within past few weeks had her first tooth come through.
I have been advised by both the health visitor and dentist that she should not be drinking juice from a bottle and I should have her drinking from a beaker and should have been since approximately 6 months old. I have been trying to encourage her to use the beakers however she cannot seem to use it properly and I just don?t know what else to try. I have a few different beakers, a Tommee Tippee stage 1 beaker, an Advent magic trainer cup, an AnyWay Up cup and I have also tried a Tommee Tippee non drip bottle which said it is a stage in between bottle and beaker and she has to suck harder to get the juice however she cannot seem to use this either.
Is there anything else I could possibly try to move her on from her bottles as I am concerned I am damaging her teeth by continually giving her the drink through the bottle.
