introducing water-which cup at 6 mos?
I have given DS water from a cup a few times, but want to introduce it more. My ped recommends to use a regular cup and hold it so he eventually does it himself. I'm not sure I agree with this or if it's what I'm going to do. He is EBF, but he takses a bottle (Medela) during the day when I'm at work. Any suggestions?

We just started with DD. We use the munchkin straw sippy cups, same as the ones DS uses.

All peds are different, some say the formula and BM have all the fluid they need. I think its just to get them used to a cup and easier to start to wean the bottle when the time comes.

I used the nuby soft spout at that age with water for DS...Then I switched to the playtex ones...Avent is good too...DS will use any cup as long as something comes out of it...
