Hi,

DD is 5 months and I'm trying to introduce her a cup to take ebm from it as I'm going back to work in 8 weeks time.
She used to take bottles of ebm when she was about 2months but then I left it for couple of weeks and when I tried again, she refused. Tried for a month or so, nothing worked, so I dropped it.
Now I was advised to give her a cup instead of bottle because she's old enough to drink from there.
I'm bit afraid of doing this because last time it was such a nightmare (lot of crying and screaming), this time just want to make it as easy for her as possible. I just don't have any idea where to start now! Have some questions:

When should I do it? First thing in the morning when I know she's hungry or in the evening before bedtime?

Should I give her ebm from it or start with water?

Anybody who's been successful with this I would love to hear how did you manage to do it!
