I need advice. I am trying to slowly get 6mth old DS onto a cup. For 5 mths he was exclusively breast-fed, with some EBM feeds given from a Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottle. Since weaning with solids (at 5 mths) he has been taking formula in his bottle with his day-time meals as I am slowly dropping the day-time breast feeds (I still want to bf, DS willing, just not at meal-times).
I have tried him, on and off over the last few weeks, with the Tommee Tippee Easiflow Bottle to Cup trainer (see here ) but he doesn't like it at all. Should I buy a teat (it'd be a Nuby teat, not a Closer to Nature one - he has only ever taken from a Closer to Nature bottle, so I feel it'd be a step back to go to a different teat, but might that be the only way to move forward - one step back for two steps forward? IYSWIM)
Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers MNers.
