I bought some bickiepegs for DS today, inside was a leaflet showing their other products, including the doidy cup. Intrigued, I looked it up on their website and came across this :
" Healthcare professionals are advising the use of the Doidy cup to prevent long term health problems caused by delayed weaning and prolonged use of feeding bottles and spouted cups. "
What health problems??
DS is BF but we are just starting weaning, and I was already confused about when and how he needs to start taking a drink that isn't breast milk! I guess he won't need water until he starts to reduce the milk feeds, but when he does I was just going to use a sippy cup. I'm currently undecided about when to stop BFing, but if I decide to stop or to mix feed should he have formula in a bottle? Or a cup? Or a Doidy cup?!! How long is " prolonged use " of a bottle?
Can anyone make sense of this please?
