Trusted childcare experts offer advice for those tricky toddler transitions...
Prima Baby's health visitor Dawn Kelly says, 'Most healthcare professionals recommend you stop giving your baby a bottle once they turn 1. Many babies can try drinking from a trainer cup from around 6 months. Drinking from a cup is better for their teeth, oral muscle development and general independence. If you have problems getting your toddler to drink from a cup, persevere and stay calm. Keep the cup around the room and let him decide when to drink from it. Just check that he's producing plenty of wet nappies and contact your health visitor if you have any worries.'
