Which bottle for EBF 8mo?

I have an 8mo that’s starting nursery next week who has never taken a bottle. His siblings were similar, but eventually we got them using a Mam. He is proving more resistant!

His weaning journey generally has been slow, but we’ve got him now eating fingers of toast, broccoli florets, sweet potato wedges. I tried him with a cup and spout the other day, but he hasn’t got the coordination to manage it.

Should I persevere with the Mam? What size teat should I use for him? Or is there another thing I should try?!

I'd persevere with the cup over a bottle at that age. Weaning may come along better when he sees other children eating at nursery also

Thanks @daisydaisy7 - any thoughts on what kind of cup is good as a first one?

We used Minbie for EBF son when he started nursery, he went on to mam ones not long after.

Munchkin miracle 360 with handles are a good starter cup but he liked the comfort of bottles until he was around 1

Mine never ever took a bottle, but used a Munchkin 360 with no issues at all.

No idea what a Mam is. Mine went from EBF to gradually drinking from a sippy cup.

Munchkin 360 was good for my my dd and plan to use it with my 4mo when she gets to 6mo. Also my 4yo like the little tomee tippee ones
