[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of parenting books advise parents to stop using the bottle when the child turns 1 yrs old, and to teach them to use a cup to drink. It's better for their oral development, healthier teeth, etc. Shouldn't the same thing apply to breast feeding as well - better for the child's oral development to learn to drink from a cup and not the nipple?[/quote] Oh, the many, many layers of ignorance. 1) The human nipple is not like a rubber nipple. It co-evolved with the infant's body for ideal oral development. The entire nipple flattens and shapes to the mouth and requires coordinated motion to express milk. 2) breastfed kids also drink from cups. My daughter nursed past age three and never used a bottle. 3) Stop trying to come up with reasons why something obviously normal and natural is not normal and natural. [/quote]
