  Shea did have his milk in a bottle until recently but now's messing with it so I changed to beaker
  
  Shea also likes to use his "Doidy" cup which they are selling at his nursery, he's really good with it but sometimes get excited and spills it!!
  
  If you google it, you should find some reviews on them - brilliant invention!!

  Charlotte stopped having bottles at about 8 or 9 months (seems so long ago can't quite remember)!
  
  She was teething quite badly and refused them so we put her on a Doidy cup. Messy but at least she had some milk. Now she has a spouted cup so she can feed herself with virtually no mess.

  juniemummy.. I followed the advice you gave me a few months ago! you suggested I used a nuby cup to bridge the transition from bottle to Beaker and it worked a treat, they were brilliant and tesco have a big range. did it not work for your boys? xxxx

  Pamtree - it worked great until he started getting jealous of Tyler with a bottle. The Nuby soft spouts seem to come out too fast for Tyler (he has just turned 1)

  Tyler has all his drinks out of a bottle and Isaac would if he could have his own way but he does use a Doidy cup (the slanted ones) for mealtimes.

  Ellie came off her bottles at 12 months and never used a beaker, she was drinking from a glass at 3 months and by 1 year could control it and hold it herself, sometimes she drinks from a straw but mostly she just uses a glass, she is 20 months now and has never wanted a beaker though i do give her one in the car for handiness sake though she always trys to get the lid off to have a "proper" drink!!! LOL xxxx

  Gabe has had beakers (either a straw style cup or the tommee tippee sippy cups) for water or juice since 5 months with no problems, but we could never get him to drink milk from a beaker so he had a bottle till 13 months when he started refusing milk. Now he only has juice and water out of beakers or a straw in a glass....he loves that!!
