I am totally over nursing as his only source of hydration and would like to cut down to just morning and bedtime but he refuses to learn how to use a cup (for water or milk) and hasn’t taken a bottle since 7M. He eats solids fine- not the biggest eater, definitely would choose to nurse if we let him, but he eats. Any tips to get him to accept water or milk from a cup or bottle (though at 13M bottle seems regressive anyway)?
have you tried open cup with spoon to spoon feed him water? you can also add more water to the food he's eating. if he tolerates the spoon, i see that as your opening.
