Weaning from sippy cup

U can ideally start a cup at 6 months ! I trained my son to use a cup from 6 months and he has never used a bottle or Sippy cup unless travelling . U can start right now . Earlier the better

Ok great! Thank u Anita.. I give her water by cup but half of the time she spills.. so thought maybe she is stil young to drink from that!

Its good. Else i have heard it becomes very difficult to stop bottle.

I have a doubt glass is stainless steel glass ? I m using bottle for my son I can't change that .

Hi Anu.. yes a stainless steel/silver glass. How old is ur baby?

8 months completed

Hey aabha which sippi cup you are using?

I have another doubt my son started to cry for milk when he takes milk from bottle he feeds very fastly if I practice in cup how comfortable for him when he is hungry and night also how he can sit n drink his sleep is getting disturb know

Hi Anu.. I feel it is just because of habit that he cries and wants bottle. Generally at his age they no longer have the need to suck so we can wean them from bottle.. Yes it is going to be tough on you as a mom but you have to be patient and not give in to his demand for bottle and soon he will understand. I weaned my daughter frm breastfeeding the same way. Also, acc to my doctor.. babies of 8 months can sleep thru the night i. e approx 8 hours without getting hungry.. so why don't you try and see whether he goes back to sleep without drinking milk in the middle of the night.. by cuddling him or consoling him by any other way you feel he will like. He could be thirsty, u can try giving him some water and see if he goes back to sleep. We should start weaning soon.. Ideally they should be off the bottle totally before 1st birthday. All the best! :)

Hi Sunita.. how old is your baby? Generally sippy cups can be started from 6 months onwards.. I startd slowly frm 5th month. I tried Nuby and Mee Mee company. I found Mee Mee's 2 in one soft spout and straw sippy cup better.. initially your baby will find it difficult to suck from that soft spout but soon he/she will get used to it!

Hi aabha thanks alot for ur suggestions .he woke up twice or thrice at night he started to put his finger into mouth. I m getting confused reg food to fill his stomach. Ok will start cup for my little. should we want to sterlize the cup .sorry i m disturbing you

Hey no problem we r here to help each other.. well,I feel there is no need to sterilise as far as it is properly washed and cleaned.. but it is up to you.. you can sterilise to be on the safer side!

Thanks alot

Thanks aabha. She is 6 months old.

Hello.. M having trouble. I have to join office soon n my baby is on bf.. How can I train my baby to drink milk from bottle or sippy cup

Hi Himanshi.. how old is your baby?? As sippy cup will be a little difficult for a baby below 5 months of age..
