>> Hi, it's Kliph from your old blind feelings group.  How have you been?  I

>> off
>> the bottle by the time they were 10 months.  Most of them saw us drinking

>> once
>> you show them that it's easy to do, then they want to try it also.  Try
>> using a sippy cup with a straw to start with, and then gradually move 
>> them
>> up to smaller cups without tops.  Good luck!

>> so if Sarah takes longer than that, I don't have a problem with it.  She

>> bottle by herself, or in drinking from a cup or a sippy.  Is there 
>> anything
>> I can do to encourage her, or if I just wait, will she come to it all on 
>> her
>> own?
>>
>> Thanks,
