I mean technically you can do whenever. But their primary source of food is milk until 1. So if you switch to sippy cups that’s totally fine but they still need those bottles or cups during the day multiple times and night time.
At a year. We did sippy / straw for water but stuck with bottles until we moved from formula to cow’s and then introduced another straw cup x
My little girl is 9 months old tomorrow and I give her a sippy cup when we started the heat wave. Cold boiled water with bits of fruit in. She’s still mainly on bottles. She’s as a morning bottle and then few snacks though the day and a full pouch of food around 6pm then her night bottle at 8pm ready for bedtime.

How long did it take before you felt like yourself again postpartum?!
I am 10.5 months postpartum and still breastfeeding. I have spent the last 5 years pregnant, postpartum, or nursing. We lost our first son during childbirth from a tragic accident. We now have two rainbows who keep me very busy taking care of them. Just wondering how long it took you to start to feel like yourself again? Did anything specific help you get there quicker?!? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Floor bed on holiday
My 7 month old is in a floor bed, which works amazingly at home. We go on holiday in a few weeks where I'll be sharing a double bed with him (there is a travel cot available but he's never really slept in a cot so I don't want this to be our only option as I'm not convinced he'll sleep in it).
The double bed obviously won't be on the floor....what are makeshift budget ways (that actually will stop a rolling around 7 month old) that can stop him rolling out of the 3 open sides without having to spend money on 3 side bed rails?
Any tips welcome x

Sleep deprived!
Anyone else have a little one ( 1 week old) who is great during the day, sleeps so well, can be put down to sleep and is fine on bottles.
Evening/late night comes and all she wants is to sleep on us and definitely seems a bit windy/struggling to poo even though she’s been fine on the bottles throughout the day

Melatonin
Do you or have you gave melatonin to your child(ren)? I’m considering it for my soon to be 4 year old…. I’ve tried putting her to sleep at 7pm but she doesn’t fall asleep until after 10pm. We’ve tried taking her outdoors during the day to burn her energy but nothing works. Getting desperate…

Feeling drained
Anyone else feeling physically and emotionally drained now? How do you do?
Controversial opinion but I found it a lot easier to care for baby when she was a tiny newborn, all was new, still running on adrenaline and she was sleeping during the day! Now that she is 3 months old, it's hard and it never stops.
I feel I have been "on" for the past 3 months and now reaching my limit. Anything will set me off, I have no patience with baby and keep arguing with hubby.
Am I alone feeling like this? Any tips? Will it get better?

My 2 week old won’t sleep without touching me, HELP!
So my boy is 2 weeks 2 days. The first week he slept fine in his bassinet now he will not sleep without touching me! And scream if I put him down. Does anyone safely co sleep or find a way to help them sleep without you? I get super anxious about co sleeping.
