Introducing Formula
Your other problem might be the sippy cup. I realize that he is definately old enough to be using one, but if he's been on the breast all this time, they tend to be finicky. My son took to formula with no problem (Nestle Good Start) but he hated bottles because he couldn't get enough out at one time to satisfy him. So I had to start buying these special bottle with really large nipples. I don't know if they sell this brand in Australia, I hope so because they were a life saver for me. They are called "Nuby" and they cost a little more, but they are quite durable and you can buy replacement nipples for them. Instead of a couple pin holes in the top, its actually an X in the nipple. So they can get as much or as little at a time as they want. Then they have ones where you can switch to a sippy cup nipple on the bottle and get them used to that. The company is online I believe so you can look them up. Hope that is helpful...Good Luck!
