C was bf and bottle fed pretty much from birth , she needed to be so her father could take care of her (at HIS house, since we are not and werent together) and i didnt trust her as a newborn to drink out of a cup.
If i was exclusively bfding however, then i might go on to a cup when i weaned them off.

We had our feeding session at antenatal last week, and she was saying that the international health people are now recommending cup over bottle - so there you go    I think it was because cup develops better muscles for speech or something?

My girls have always had water in a cup not bottle, but I have expressed for both Hannah and Kryssi and they had bottles (at various times) for that. Kryssi eventually went onto formula at 9mos but she was my first FF baby so therefore the first regular bottle feeder of my girls.]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:58:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19470&PID=449756&title=am-i-the-only-person#449756 <![CDATA[Am i the only person : I only ever gave Keira a bottle...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19470&PID=449473&title=am-i-the-only-person#449473 Author: Daizy

I only ever gave Keira a bottle with water in it a night so I wasnt constanly having to get up in the night to get her a drink.
I BF untill she was 18 months, so with milk we gradually introduced it in the cup from the age of 1. She whould never take milk in her bottle - too weird.]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:30:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19470&PID=449473&title=am-i-the-only-person#449473 <![CDATA[Am i the only person : I tried giving Jack a bottle twice...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19470&PID=449391&title=am-i-the-only-person#449391 Author: myfullhouse

If you can BF to the age where there is no point in introducing a bottle, then good on you I say.

I stopped BF at 3 and a half months for various reasons, and there was no way Chloe was ready for a cup then. I've tried her with a cup recently too and she just isn't ready. But if you can get past needing a bottle then that's just a bonus really... no need to have stacks of bottles to buy

No, not the only one My little boy is nearly 6 months and has never had a bottle. We tentatively tried to give him a bottle at about 5 months and he had absolutely no idea what to do with it and got thoroughly upset with the whole thing! We decided not to persist with it and are hoping to try introducing a cup at some point fairly soon ]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:47:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19470&PID=449226&title=am-i-the-only-person#449226 <![CDATA[Am i the only person : A friend of mine did the same...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19470&PID=449185&title=am-i-the-only-person#449185 Author: CuriousG

I intend to go straight to cup next time around, it makes a lot of sense to me to skip the bottle stage if you don't need to use them.

Because I started work full time when Michaela was only 5mo and IMO still a bit too young to have all her meals from a cup she had EBM (and later formula) from a bottle when I wasn't home to feed her but next time around I won't be rushed back to work.
