Babies need to use bottles from birth, even those who are breastfed need to drink water from bottles. Therefore, bottles cannot be separated from babies. Unless babies quit using bottles around the age of one and a half, they will need to use bottles before the age of one and a half. So, what bottle should I drink at the age of one? Below, the editor will provide a detailed introduction.
At the age of 1, the baby should drink a larger bottle and use a 240ml bottle to ensure that the baby is fully fed. In fact, after the baby is one year old, the mother should encourage the baby to reduce the frequency of bottle use until the baby no longer uses the bottle. Around one and a half years old, the baby should completely quit using the bottle.
If a baby uses a bottle for a long time, it will be bad for their mouth, easily causing dental caries, weight gain, and even affecting the development of their language ability. Therefore, mothers should give their babies weaning bottles as early as possible. During and after giving up bottle feeding, mothers can let their babies drink water and milk from cups.
However, as the baby is still relatively young, not only have their fine motor skills not developed well, but their hand eye coordination ability has also not developed well. Therefore, the process of learning to drink water from a cup is relatively long for the baby. Therefore, mothers should have enough patience and give the baby enough time to learn so that the baby can learn. Therefore, mothers should not be too anxious. As long as the baby can proficiently use a cup to drink water around the age of 2, it is enough.
