Hi,

Babies and bottles - they just seem to be part of the same package. but the truth is lots of babies never have a bottle pass their lis - and they do beautifully. The drag with the bottle is you spend so much time getting them to take it and then at some point you have to go through the painful process of getting them off the bottle.
Babies this age LOVE a straw cup. Dunno why - but they love it. To get him started, try him on a juice box - you can squeeze the liquid up into his mouth. There will be no going back. Already you are not the only one who can feed him - I guess he is having food? He can pretty much feed himself, or his carer can feed him. Not to say that when he cottons on you are at home he won't want you - but that's because he wants his mum, not about how he is fed.
