    Intersting topic Elaine I was starting to have questions around this myself...

    Zac has milk in bottles still (am and pm) and then has the water with meals from a doidy cup as I couldn't get him to drink from anything else!

    My HV says you should stop using bottles at 12 months but I'm not really sure what to change to - can't see him drinking his 7oz from a cup...!??!?

    Phoebe has a cup for water - I'm still breastfeeding so she's never really had a bottle. I'm hoping that when I eventually stop breastfeeding she will drink milk from a cup too but who knows?

    Cant see us being ready to lose the bottles in another 5 weeks.

    Dont know what goes through tommy's head but he gets his cup, smacks his face with it, puts it in his mouth once (if lucky) then throws it across the room!

    Will keep trying daily but at the mo the cup is obviously not liked and I have tried bloody loads of them.

    Zacky swipes drinks out of our cups if we dont watch him, especially his dads tea LOL.

    He has water throughout the day from a freeflow beaker, although most of the time he also thinks its funny to shake the beaker and give himself a shower, LOL.

    He will not take milk in anything but a bottle, If he is happy with this I will wait til he wants to change over to a cup / beaker. He only has a morning and afternoon bottles now anyway. Not bad for the milk monster he used to be LOL.
