breastfeeding
December 4th, 2007
The company(tommeetippee.co.uk) does seem to be aware of these issues and is keeping a close eye on any studies. But, worrisome parents like myself are going to worry even more. I really like the range we’re using and A has eaten from these bottles without any trouble. I guess I’ll just have to be more vigilant than ever and replace any worn-looking bottles.
For the last few days, I’ve struggled (unsuccesfully) to get him to drink out of his cup. The same cup that he’s been drinking out of for ages. I was getting rather worried that his breastfeeds alone weren’t going to give him enough to drink. He’s been really ratty, which I suspect has been down to thirst, but shrieked even more, arching his back away, when ‘confronted’ with his cup. . Tonight, in desperation (after giving him juice from a spoon, which was never going to work long-term, was it?) we tried changing his valve cup for a simple Tommee Tippee First Cup, free-flowing with just a small spout. I’m relieved to say he’s drinking again - and not terribly surprised that he guzzled down his drink as though he was just back from the Sahara.
my niece was in scbu & the scbu specialist nurse who visits her recommends weaning at 16-17 wks if they can eat off a spoon.
