Netizen: grandma Zhang, I saw that the baby should quit feeding bottles at 18 months. Would you like to ask whether you just don’t use a bottle for drinking water, or don’t use a bottle for drinking milk?

Answer expert Dr. Zhang Silai (expert of sina maternal and Infant Research Institute, former director and chief physician of Pediatrics of integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of traditional Chinese Medicine)

Children should start training to drink water with cups after 6 months. It is generally recommended to use straw cups or duckbill cups to prepare for cutting off feeding bottles after the age of 1 year
