mommy2lucas - 221 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You could try and start now with a sippy. My son is 6 and a half months old and can't hold his bottle totally by himself yet, but we bought him a sippy where there are handles on the sides that can be easily held. I work a lot and don't want him attached to the bottle so I started early. As for the pacifier, if you don't want her carrying it around all the time as she gets older(1-2) you can start anytime. Lucas kind of self weaned himself off of his recently and won't touch it. But gradually take it away from her and let her self sooth if that's when she really wants it. Eventually she'll give up and totally forget all about the thing.

courtenay - 221 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) well you could start now if you want too, my daughter is 10 months and uses a sippy cup really well. i just started giving it to her around 6 or 7 months, it took a bit, at first she would just play with it but it didnt take her long to figure it out. i dont have much advice about the pacifier though sorry, i never used them.
