Formula/breast milk in a sippy cup

My issue is that I’m due back to work towards the end of March and I want her to be comfortably drinking milk by means other than the breast

I’ve tried all sorts of different bottles and teats and she’s refused all of them even though I’ve persistently tried her with them

Hi Rebecca, I have read once they are over 6 months it’s quite difficult to get them to accept a bottle. I’m in the same position as you but my little one is 9 months. When we started weaning he took to drinking water from a sippy cup after a while, I’m currently pumping and hoping he will start to accept milk from it too! 6 months isn’t too young as that’s when you will be weaning from and giving water alongside solids. We tried a few sippy cups and the he took to the nuby sip n grip cups. They are also more likely to accept it if we aren’t around and know that they cant get milk from us. My friends little boy refused to drink any milk whilst at nursery but had his fill once he got home during the evenings so try not to worry too much xx

@Kat thank you soo much for your message and advice! I really do appreciate it and I’ll look into the Nuby cups xx
