How to move DD onto a beaker from a bottle (milk)

4 replies

DD is 15 months, we'd like to try (if possible) to drop the bottle for morning and evening milk. I really don't want her being 18 months plus and having a bottle. Also she's got quite a few teeth now.

We these for meal times etc. Would this be a suitable swap?

We have a Didy cup which I've started to use at meal times.

Just need a good beaker, to get DD used to not having a bottle. Plan is to go cold turkey on her. Suggestions and advice welcome. Crown

Those cups look fine jaffa.

Now she's over one she needs about 300mls of cows milk a day which includes dairy foods, so it's not really necessary to give his bottles of milk.

When does she get the first bottle? Is it with breakfast?

As for the last bottle, we gave DD an open cup with milk in to drink in the bath. It got her used to drinking from a open cup really quickly and the spills didn't matter Smile.

Thanks.

Will give the bath tip a go.

She currently gets milk when she wakes at about 6:30/7pm. We could try swapping it to breakfast first but currently at the stage she can't wait and just go a bit nuts BlushGrin
