I've bought the girls a Tommee Tippee first cup each for water at meal times but was wondering when your LOs transitioned from a bottle to a cup for milk feeds and if so, which cup do you recommend?
Should I use the TT cup for milk too (no valve so they need to be concentrating!) or is there another type of cup that's better? Or do they stay on bottles for milk feeds until they are drinking cow's milk?
Thanks xx

I wanted her milk cup to be very different to her water cup - so I bought her an explora cup for milk - it can be mixed and matched to tommee tippee bottles (so for a while I put the cup handles on her bottles - to get her used to the idea) which means that it looks familiar and they know what to expect (I wanted her water cup to be very different - so she didn't get disapointed when there was no milk in there!)
My HV doesn't like the explora cups - because it isn't free flow - although you can take the valve out to make it free flow - but if you do that, it comes out very fast!
I plan to give her sippy cups in the day - but stick with her bottle at bedtime -until she's about 1.

Hi girls, just popped across from Toddler for a nose and this made me smile!!
My boy is 2 and still has a cuddle and bottle of milk first thing in the morning!!!
He drinks out of normal cups mostly but still wants mummy to give him that bottle each morning, the big laa loo!!! But secretly I love it cause still feel like I have my baby!!!
Hope you're all doing well xxx
Siany - how funny, we had the opposit problem! I think because Abby is teething she like chopping on the hard teat, she doesn't like the soft ones at all.
