    Posted: 14 June 2010 at 3:15pm
I was hoping someone could tell me the difference between the 4mth+ and 6mth+ tommee tippee cups??

I accidently bought the 6-month one to try to encourage my 4-month-old daughter to take something other than the breast (she's flat out refusing the bottle).
Haven't had much luck so far and was wondering whether its worth hunting down the younger age one. Is it faster flowing and easier to use, or just a smaller bottle?
Thanks!

The 4 month one had a spout thing and was faster flow. tThe 6 month one has a plastice flick up thing they suck on. Personally I had more luck with the 6 month one as it required more effort and so there was less gagging. Good luck I near had any luck with bottles, as DD hates the texture, but sippy cup is tolerated.

oh dear! She's sucking on it and seems to be getting some milk but doesn't close her mouth around it so it spills everywhere!! I'd say 70% is lost down her front!

Do you think she'll get the knack of it if I just keep using it?? Any tricks to getting her to close her mouth around it??
Argggh, getting desperate as we have to start topping her up with formula soon and she flat-out refuses to take a teat/bottle!
Please help!

I still get the odd spill to be honest. definite improvement with practice, now only 20% spills. Best thing I can think of is to sit her sideways like she's having a bottle and tilt slowly and let her do it in little sips. She might gag a bit but is normal.
