[blparent] sippy cups

[Agnes Steinhoff]

Hey Jodie:

Considering that she is still under a year old, a sippy cup may be still a 
challange for her.  My pediatrician recommended that my daughter use a sippy 
at about age of one year.  They still suggest staying with a bottle up until 
then.  When Ashley was about the same age as your little one, they told me 
to start her on baby foods stage one, but I think they didn't even start 
that until like maybe when she was about 6 months or a little bit older. 
They told me to have her on formula until then.  As for the sippy cup, they 
usually start introducing it to kids who are one year old and up.  Hope this 
helps.
