At about 6 months, try a sippy cup with expressed milk or formula if you are not breastfeeding. Your baby needs be able to use this before you can wean them. Use a sippy cup for a variety of liquids: formula, breastmilk, juice, water. That way your baby gets the idea that all things come from a cup.

Don't give cow's milk! Many say you can give it at one year old, but cow's milk is actually for cows. There are alternatives for cows milk that contain calcium and other nutrients. Besides, your baby cnanot even tolerate cow's milk until they are at least a year old.

If you are used to nursing or giving a bottle before bedtime, come up with another activity-read, sing, bath, anything.

After 12 months your child should be almost bottle free and using a sippy cup. If you wait too long, it becomes very hard.

Don't worry, women around the world commonly breastfeed much longer!

Remember: Your baby needs breast milk for at least the first six months. If you wish to introduce foods at that time, you should use natural things like carrots, bananas, apples, or even baby foods like cheerios. Always mash them good and soak them in breast milk for a nutritious meal for your baby! There is no reason to introduce meat, poultry, or fish. Wait!

More good, organic baby foods are sweet potatoes and avocados! These are high in vitamins.
