Hi all, LO is 1 yr old in one week so I am starting to think about moving away from milk in a bottle to milk in a beaker. LO drinks water from a doidy cup quite happily but she does take comfort from a bottle before bed (guess I could keep this feed as bottle). Anyway, any recomedations on the types of beakers you have found useful with your LO's would be greatly appreciated.

I've always used freeflow cups as this is what my health visitor recommended (better for teeth etc).

I continued with a bottle at bedtime for a good six months after we'd stopped giving her a bottle at other times, and only switched to providing water in a (freeflow) cup at bedtime when my DD was two and a bit.

TBH I still give her a bottle if she is ill and feeling sorry for herself, more for comfort than anything else.

Thanks for the advice MLW. I'll introduce free flow cups and stick with the bed time bottle x
