Q:Should I use a cup?

A:Once your baby is six months old,the sucking action he uses to strengthen his jaw and to get his feed from a breast or bottle isn't necessary.If you try using cup now,it will ease the transition off the breast or bottle.Health professionals recommend dropping the bottle by your baby's first year because milk can pool around the teeth and cause decay.Spending a lot of time with a teat in his mouth may also delay your baby's speech.
