Whenever we run a photo of a celebrity toddler holding a bottle (like Suri or Alabama, above), we get a ton of comments from you about what's right and wrong when it comes to bottle weaning. The American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry both recommend making the switch to cups between ages 6 and 12 months, since it's important that children are weaned at the right time in order to avoid problems like speech impediments, tooth erosion and tooth deformation later in life. (For more health information, check out this story at ABCNews.com). Now, we want to know what you think.
Here's your chance to Sound Off! Tell us your thoughts and tips on making the transition from bottle to cup in the comments.
