[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 613156, member: 1514"] I was strictly a bottle feeder so I dont have a lot of experience but I know my daughter in law had a heck of a time with her oldest daughter. She nursed completely and that child wouldnt take a bottle at all, even if she had to go out and someone else had to feed her while she was gone. It was horrible. Personally I wouldnt start her on a bottle but would go straight to a sippy cup. They have the ones with the very soft nipples which are almost like a bottle. My reasoning is that you are weaning her to a bottle and she shouldnt even be on a bottle at her age. We had Monkey on the cup full time at 8 months and Mouse did it a bit later because they were lazy. She lasted until a year when I kept throwing all the bottles away when I found one. She has been sticking to the soft lids though especially at night. It kills me that she is so addicted to the cup at night because she will wake up in the middle of the night looking for her cup. Then she wakes everyone else up. Now oddly, during the day she wants to drink out of a cup without a lid and I flip out because she ends up spilling it. Heck, I just took Monkey off the cups with lids that look like a regular cup but they wont spill. I still use a sports bottle for her instead of regular cups. I hate spilled drink! I will give you a hint on how we got Monkey onto the cup so early. We started at 6 months and gave her either her juice in the cup or even a little bit of chocolate flavored milk. Well actually I flavored her formula. She thought the cup gave good stuff! Her daycare was a bit surprised and said she was the only 8 month old they had who didnt take a bottle. But doing it that early she didnt have the attachment to the bottle. [/QUOTE]
