i have an almost 7 month old she wil be 7 months on teh 29th.. well she as been taking a sippy cup with her formula she dnt want the bottle much anymore and if she is taing a cup why shoul i worry about giving her bottle .. but here is the thing.. should she still be taking a bottle? is there anythign wrong with giving her a sippy cup? i mean if she wants it that is good right? and is getting her formual still we dont give her regular milk and she is drinking her juice. Do u see a problem with not giving her a bottle anymore and just going to sippy cup? or is that wrong. I figured if she is taking a cup and drinking from it at all times why do a bottle we can break her from it.

You might be a very lucky mom! I know moms who don't know what to do because they can't get their child off the bottle! As long as your daughter is getting enough to drink and enough nutrients then you should be okay. This could also help the transition to milk a lot easier in a few months. Congrats!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with her drinking from a sippy cup! In fact that is great! There is no need for her to drink from a bottle if she doesn't want to - as long as she's getting the proper nutrition (whether it comes from the breast, a bottle, a sippy cup...whatever!). You are very lucky because breaking a little one from the bottle can be a daunting task...go ahead and give her the sippy cup and put the days of the bottle behind you!

That's great. The sooner she comes off the bottle the better. The longer they take the bottle the worse dental problems they will have. Just remember not to start her on regular milk until she is over the age of 1. Keep giving her the formula in the sippy cup
Congrats on bypassing a huge fight later down the line

If your baby is doing well with the sippy cup, then it is perfectly fine for the baby to take the formula from the cup. Babies this young do sometimes need the sucking motion that the bottle provides, but you can satisfy this need by giving her a pacifier. If you do so, then I suggest you buy the brand that is all one piece (rubber) and this eliminates the danger of the pacifier coming apart and the baby choking.

There is no problem with her moving on to the sippy cup early. Our son was on the bottle longer than our daughter and he eventually developed bottle rot (the milk or formula in the bottle rots the teeth) and had to have his top front teeth removed. So its good that she wants to move on early,.

My son turns 7 months old in another week. He drinks water out of a cup and juice out of his sippy cup. He continues to drink formula out of his bottle though. There is absolutely no problem with your baby shifting to sippy cups and regular cups. She is just ready for it and is comfortable with it. Let her carry on as long as she is getting her nutrition, being happy and active and herself. :-)

i think shes fine every baby develops at a different way and your right bottles are hard to break a big pluss bottles can possibly make your babies teeth come in crooked i think if she wants it and can take it i give you props ive seen 1 yr old that wont give up the bottle for a sippy congrats

there is no reason for her to take a bottle as long as she is able to drink from a sippy cup. good for you!!! no more bottles!

GREAT, good for you, throw all the bottles out, that is so great you should feel very proud of your daughter and yourself, if you return to bottles it will be very difficult to take away later, that is so nice to hear, parents today hold on to the bottle way too long, if no one else says it to you i will, i'm very proud of you, you are a great mom
