There are plenty of options available for getting your baby to drink from a bottle, but the right one for your child may depend on his or her temperament and preference.  If your baby is fussy or doesn't like being held closely, try using a sippy cup first. Give your child fluids orally every two to three hours during the day, depending on their age, weight, and activity level.  Try different bottles and nipples; some babies prefer silicone types while others prefer traditional rubber nipples. It's important to keep trying different methods until you find what works best for your little one!
