Before that it was just breastfeeding and BLW solids once a day. </p> <p>He's 17m old and is still having his breast milk at daycare in a bottle. I won't let him lose a drop of that gold in a sippy cup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-a-sippy-cup-and-breastfeeding#post-783500 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:45:02 +0000 MamaJ 783500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: ha thanks! Guess I missed it yesterday! :) ill check it out!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-a-sippy-cup-and-breastfeeding#post-783499 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:44:58 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 783499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son just started using a cup with water inside at daycare (almost 8 months old). I didn't want to use breast milk, because hello - spills! I don't think you need to bottle ween at 6 months - plenty of formula fed babies drink from bottles past that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-a-sippy-cup-and-breastfeeding#post-783497 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:43:51 +0000 MamaMoose 783497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually started a thread about this yesterday : )</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-sippy-cups" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-sippy-cups</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-a-sippy-cup-and-breastfeeding#post-783495 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:43:18 +0000 Mrsbells 783495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: we breasfed and only put water in a our zoli cup. she never got breastmilk from a cup. I think most experts agree that bottle weaning should be at 12 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-a-sippy-cup-and-breastfeeding#post-783487 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:41:27 +0000 MamaJ 783487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting ready to start solids/introduce a sippy cup. Do I just put water in the sippy and not breastmilk? LO only gets a bottle 3x a week when I'm gone. I'm worried he will get used to the faster flow of the sippy if I put breastmilk in it. </p> <p>Also my MIL told me I need to wean him from the bottle at 6 months. Which I think is ridiculous, but she didn't breastfeed past 6 months so I'm guessing she just put formula in a sippy instead of a bottle? </p>
