I'm going back to work in about a month, when my (ebf) baby will be about 7.5months. He used to have an occasional bottle of ebm but since 4 months he's been a bottle refuser. Which is fine- he can use a sippy cup. He didn't get on with a no-spill cup (again fine - I removed the valve). He's had a cup of water with food for about a month and I recently tried with milk.
I'm getting a bit nervous because he doesn't seem to get drinking from a cup - he's fine getting it to his mouth by himself and is also happy to open his mouth and let someone else do the work, but once the milk/ water is in his mouth he just spits it back out. He will swallow some, but I have to keep wrenching the cup away so he doesn't overflow! I've tried warm and cold water but only cold milk (it was a warm day ). Anyone got any advice or success stories please? Oh, I've also tried a doidy cup. He uses it to rinse his mouth out...
