DD is 5.5 months and we're thinking about upcoming weaning. She has never had a bottle and I am hoping to go straight to cups for expressed milk; to this point I've been able to feed her myself but in the coming months I may need to be away for long enough that DH will need to feed her.
We got a Tommee Tippee free-flow cup from the HV, and tried some expressed milk in it. Only the second use she seemed to know exactly what it was, and drank eagerly, if a bit spill-y.
But now we'll also be giving her some water with weaning. I wondered if she'd be confused if the same cup sometimes produced milk and sometimes water? Should I do something like get a second cup of a different colour for the water? Or am I not giving her enough credit to figure stuff out :) ?
