my son is 22 mts old and was very attached to his bottle,I have taken it away and replaced with a feeder cup but for the last 2 days since he refuses to drink anything at all from it!!
any tips for a painless transfer????

2 days is not long im afraid! give it a few more

does he know whats it in? is the cup see-through enough?

cold turkey is best imo

I haven't done it yet.

A little while ago, someone on here suggested letting them have the bottle, but replacing the teat with a slower-flowing one - so it takes ages to get the milk out and they choose the beaker.

We are now drinking happily from a cup and it only took us 4 days !!!!
