I like your idea for going striaght to an open cup! Our lactation consultant said in other countries even newborns who are not able to nurse are fed right from a cup! That's pretty neat.Someone Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235213938101654290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-67309063574742843762007-01-08T07:15:00.000-06:002007-01-08T07:15:00.000-06:00I use a plastic cup.

And you can often find them at thrift stores.<br /><br />So far I've made it through two children bottle-free. I do have sports bottle-style sippy cups for trips in the car.Queen of Carrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193758647591339890noreply@blogger.com
