Hi, any tips on getting a 8 month old bottle feed? I had been giving her water in avent bottle for 2 months and she has still not learnt to suck, rather chews the bottle. Tried tommie tippe bottle and sipper cup but n vain.

have you tried giving her diluted juice instead? maybe water isn't very attractive.

my older one (now 33mths) never learnt how to suck...am still trying to find ways to teach her - it just came naturally for #2...don't know why - but she graduated from bottle to water flask and normal cup by 1yrs....skipped the sippy cup stage altogether. the only thing now is i can just give her a packaged drink as a snack (when we're at a playgroup and everyone is drinking tree top apple juice - I have to pour it into a cup)...an inconvenience on my part if she can't suck...
