Transitioning from Nuby Sippy Cup to Hard Spout

My son(11.5 months) has used a Nuby sippy cup since he was 6 months old to drink water and juice. He holds them well and loves to drink from them. I have been a bit disappointed, though, because all of his sippies have started to leak like crazy over the past month, so I figured it would be a good time to transition to another cup since I can't stand the leakage wanted to transition him to a bigger cup anyway. I purchased the gerber sippies with handles and a harder spout(still a bit soft). It has a valve to control leaking, but my son will...

How to Get 7 Month Old to Drink Water - Won't Take Bottle, Sippy Cup, Straw...

Now that my 7 month old is eating "real" food she is becoming constipated and it is clear she needs to be intaking more water. She nurses A LOT but still needs water. Does anyone have a suggestion for a baby who will not take a bottle and only blows bubbles with a straw and chews on a trainer/sippy cup. My first daughter got very constipated when she started solids and I don't want to go through that again with my second daughter. It was so painful for my first, I really don't want to put another baby through that. Especially when I...

Weaning off Bedtime Bottle

Hello, We have a 1 year old little girl. She is off the bottle except at night. She gets a bottle during our bedtime routine. Lately, it's turned into a game for her. She plays with the nipple, drinks, cries, drinks again, plays with the cap, hits me, fingers in my nose, etc. She is tired. We put her in her crib (wide awake), she rolls to her side and goes to sleep all on her. It's getting more difficult. Our ped. said it's time to take that last bottle away. Can you guys please give me your tips on how to wean off the bottle?
