Independence

15 mos
You should begin to ween your baby from her bottle. She should be able to drink from her sip cup,from a straw and a regular cup with your help. You should now introduce her to the idea of feeding her self from a regular cup. You should purchase a small cup (3. ounces) you will give your baby one ounce of liquid in the cup. She does not understand quantity if you give her too munch liquid she will try to drink it all at once and it will be all on her clothing. Giving her a little  allows her to practice . She will spill it but it will not be as frightening for her. You are building your baby's self- confidence  therefore you need to give her  activities that she will be able to accomplish.Always remember to celebrate when she drinks from her cup each time, by saying wow you did a wonderful job feeding your self.
