My baby is 11 months.he is breastfed and does not take a bottle. i would like to wean him onto either formula or cow's milk. bottle or sippy cup?

Sippy cup: He is old enough to go right to a cup. There are so many new-fangled, non-spill ones now that you don't even have to worry about spills and drips. Work with him together, you controlling the tipping of the cup until he gets the hang of the flow rate of drinking from a cup, and by then, he should be able to get it by himself. What a big boy!

Either: Your child may benefit from a "big boy" sippy cup offered at the table. Good luck and congratulations! Great job!
