Use a spoon and cup
Give your baby a spoon to hold while you use another spoon to feed the baby. As your baby is able, get your baby to use a spoon.
Feeding your baby breast milk or formula from a cup during meals can help with getting your baby off a bottle, called weaning. Around age 9 months, babies might be able to drink from a cup on their own.
