So my daughter will be 8 months on the 20th, and a nurse told me I could give her a sippy cup instead of a bottle (she's breastfed straight from the tap, rarely pump (maybe 4 times?)) since she's so close to a year old, but this nurse also told me food before one is just for fun bc I mentioned that she doesn't like to eat solids very much (but she's getting enough).
my daughter eats solids now. She doesn't really like the baby food, so I make some for her or give her little tastes. My friends son is also 8 months and he doesn't like eating either and I breastfed. I find it perfectly fine, as long the baby is healthy and growing!
