Yeah, the sippy cup bottle tops were the only things my first three would deal with. My mum spoon fed Poppy one evening when she was 4 months old and I went out (SIL’s hen night!) – she spoon fed my brother (who was on formula but would only suck his thumb!) for quite a while. Not very practical for nursery though

Massive empathies for all the wah-ing.

Ahh, I know what you mean Jan, you have to slightly bite them, and stuff comes out – since BB bighting, might be an idea!

We started M on those Tommee Tippee cups with a rubbery teat that you do have to squeeze a bit like a nipple to get the drink out. They have rubbery handles and bottom too, and she had water, and just played with and chewed the cup most of the time, before eventually discovering what the usual use of it was.

‘Best bit with SB was that she spent about 2 hours awake, and wanting to get up (at 5.45 I think not…), when I decide to give in at 6.30 she’d then fallen asleep :rolls:

The sippy cup bits are presumably in store with the rest of the stuff we thought we wouldn’t need until now, when we thought we would have moved……..

Solictor greeted me this morning at about 9.30 with ‘just making my normal morning call’ ! – we’ve been waiting to exchange since last thursday. He hasn’t rung back yet to say ‘no way Jose’ can’t decide if that is good or not.

I had a couple for SB and she didn’t take to those either. now i can’t find them.
i think its cos BB is chewing or trying to bf it, rather than sucking. SB just wouldn’t have the thing in her mouth at all!

Have you tried one of the avent sippy cup type things, with the flat teat rather than a “bottle teat” – it was the only thing i could get Amelie to take.
