Cup feeding with premade formula

6 replies

Hi everyone

Baby (8 months) has only ever been breastfed but I want to start leaving her with my mum. I want her to try cup feeding, using premade formula to start with for ease.

Am I right in thinking I simply sterilise the cup, tip in the formula and feed?

TIA

(my children had a doidy cup 20 years ago, it isn't a weird new fangled thing!)

Exactly that yes although I’m not sure I sterilised the cup first time Smile

Thank you for the responses! We have the Doidy cup - amongst others 🙂

Good luck, olive. Fun times!

Yep that's it! Mine got on much better with cups than bottles.
