By the time babies are between 9 and 12 months old, they're often ready to make the switch from bottle to cup. At this age, they're more interested in what's going on around them than they are in sucking on a breast or bottle. But phasing out the bottle this early means planning ahead. Here are some tips:
1 After this age, you may offer full cream cow's milk from a cup. 2  After your baby is 12 months old, it is best to stop using the bottle. 3  Small amounts of cow's milk can be used in solid foods after 6 months of age.reastmilk or formula and water are all your baby needs to drink for the first 12 months of life. If you choose to give your older child juice, dilute 1 part juice to 3 parts water. Don't give your baby or toddler more than 1 small glass (125ml) of juice each day with a meal.
