My son has a beaker during the day for his water but has a soft spout, sort of like a bottle, Its a tommee Tippee one and when he has his milk in the morning and evening he has it in a bottle. People have to said to me he shouldnt be having a bottle any more but he really loves his bottles so i was just wondering what you all do with regards to bottles vs beakers and if you use beakers could you tell me which one's you use or paste a link to it please

Thanks

H has all his milk from a 'cow' beaker it's black and White and I think I got it from Asda. X

How long has he been having it from a beaker?

Izzy has these too http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amadeus-5031438003405-Cow-Cup/dp/B001AUF2I4

Personally I'd say you will know he is ready to move - Izzy had a bottle for a lot longer than 'recommended' and basically refused to drink milk from anything but a bottle...then one day just decided it was OK!

We cut out his afternoon one first around 11m then the breakfast one and lastly the bedtime one so he never had a bottle after about 12/13 months x

elijah uses this one http://www.preciouslittleone.com/product-information/85/7675/tommee-tippee-first-cup---pink-/ its £1.26 in tesco but only holds i think up to 5oz or so, he takes water or milk from it - it isn't nonspill but he has managed fine from 6 months the beaker equivalent is http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Feeding/Weaning/Cups/Tommee-Tippee-First-Beaker-Blue%280078487%29?cm_mmc=Feed-_-Google%20Base-_-N%2FA-_-Tommee%20Tippee%20First%20Beaker%20-%20Blue and eli will be using that when his hands are big enough!

Ellie is still having her milk from a bottle and will do for as long as she wants. I did buy a cow cup and put her milk in and she launched across the living room so using my very well tuned motherly instincts I figured she isn't ready to get rid of her bocky!

My other two had their bottles for well longer than this and survived and both have good teeth and eventually moved on to cups.

Hey (this is a top secret) my son had a baby cup til he was 8 for his cup of tea in the morning, he used to lie in his bed with his cup!

Just let Robert guide you and feck the official guidelines

ooo we have them tommitippe ones. try his milk in that n then change the water to a hard lidded one.. paige has her milk in the soft lid ones. she was all good. we brought two one pink one blue just for her milk so she knew it was her milk x

C still has her milk in a bottle. She simply wont drink it from a cup so is bottle or nowt. I figure its 2 bottles a day its not like shes got it in her gob all day so im not stressing about it

Arwyn only has her night feed in a bottle, during the day if she's getting formula and not boob she has this cup...

it has a soft spout like her bottle but it means she can hold it her herself and get used to a beaker. she has the same one as Mari has for Elijah for her water so she can get used to free flow

Lily refused to have bottles once she was about 11 months as she wanted a cup, I was sad as wanted to carry on babying her for a bit longer!!

We have about 5 of these and really like them as they are cheap, do not have fiddly bits to clean and put together and absolutely have not leaked despite Lily doing her best to shake the drink out!http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anywayup-CLASSIC-BEAKER-months-color/dp/B000G1TDNS/ref=pd_bxgy_by_text_b

oliver tends to have proper cups in the day time now, then a beaker in the morning and night, he has only just stopped with the night bottle though about 2 weeks ago...found it hard to switch over cos it was like the end of an era kinda thing

he just has the tommee tippee beaker that the hv gave us, dunno bout anyone else but iv found it difficult to find any other free flow ones really x

Callum has a tommee tippee cup for juice during the day but the sam as C he just wont drink milk out off one and only has the bottle of milk before nap and bed xx

we also use bottles and I was beginning to worry but babymilly and mario you've just reminded me that it's only a guideline and we all know how useful they are

Tyler has a beaker in the day for water or juice but I don't think he would have 8oz of milk out of a beaker.. we have tried for his bed time bottle but he won't have it.
He never has the bottle himself (i.e. I dont give it to him and put him in his cot with it) he has it before his bath and has his teeth brushed afterwards anyway.

SO we will continue with bottles... means i get a nice cuddle in the morning anyway

Gracie has her bedtime milk in a tommee tipee first beaker i prefer them as it dosnt leak if she falls asleep and it wont squirt everywhere if she leans on the teat xx

alasdair will be 2 at the end of the month and still wants bottles

i have every cup imaginable and he just chucks it. and he cant drink out of the straw types i have got him used to the nuby ones, like pixels. but will find a bottle or see one and want it

Wil has this one and the larger version without a handle (can't find a link)

The big one holds 400mls

Wil gave up his bottle at 11 months quite willingly (he had been very attached to it). My niece has only given her bedtime bottle up in the last two weeks and she is 2 and a half.

Wil started on the basic tommee tippee cups and has progressed to these.

I tried Alfie with a blue and green cow print one from Asda, he did try it but couldn't even get any out
