Yes: Babies will respond gleefully when they see a bottle, but don't give your baby a bottle just to quiet him when he really isn't hungry. Babies who spend too much time with a bottle start to use it as a security object, which makes weaning more difficult. They are also more likely to have ear infections and tooth decay problems. Find another security object like a stuffed animal or a blanket.

Too soon!!!!!: Your baby still needs the nutritional punch that formula or breast milk provides. Your baby also does not have the hand and mouth coordination required to handle a sippy cup. It will be a sad frustrating process for both of you. Please slow down.
