Cups for feeding small babies

6 replies

My breast-fed premature baby was cup fed in SCBU and now he's home we'd like to start giving him the occasional cup feed of EBM. In hospital they had special little cups with a lip which my LO took to very well.

This may be a dumb question but where can I get cups like this or special cups designed for feeding v small babies (he's still tiny!). I looked in the big Boots but the cups all seemed like they were designed for bigger bubs. My pal who is a BF counsellor has a doidy cup - but they also seem to be for bigger bubs too...

I would go back to the SCBU but we rang them up and they were snooty about my OH cup feeding our DS because he hadn't been trained how to do it (I cup fed the baby in hospital)....

Bobo - ds was cup fed formula in hospital and we were given some very small flexible cups.
They were like disposable shot glasses, I guess. Don't know where you could get them from, but perhaps someone else knows?
