A. Babies under three months: very young babies can be fed breastmilk from a small feeding cup, a spoon, or a feeding syringe. From three months: using either an open cup or a baby beaker with a simple spout (no valves) is an option for a baby from three months of age. A baby will often take drinks from these when his mother is present, which can reassure you that your baby will take milk while you are away. You can give your baby the chance to experiment with a spouted or open cup that he can hold himself. Once your baby is six months old, you can offer water or occasionally very diluted juice in a cup to encourage him to drink. Sit at a table with him and have a drink yourself, so he can copy you. You could pretend to drink from his beaker, and emphasise the pleasure of drinking. The social interaction can be very important, compensating for the closeness of breastfeeding to help your baby accept the alternatives more readily.
