Here are five ways to transition your baby from a bottle to a cup:
Introduce a sippy cup: Start by offering your baby a sippy cup with a soft spout. Encourage them to hold it and drink from it.
Gradual transition: Gradually reduce the number of bottle feedings and replace them with the sippy cup. Start with the least important feeding of the day and work your way up.
Positive reinforcement: Praise your baby for drinking from the sippy cup and make it a fun experience by using colorful cups or straws.
Offer variety: Offer a variety of liquids in the sippy cup such as water, milk, or diluted juice.
Be patient: Every baby is different and some may take longer to transition from a bottle. Be patient and consistent with your approach.
