s/o formula in sippy cups

anyone know why this isn't recommended? Our pedi told us only water and juice in sippy cups, but I have no idea why it's not okay to put formula in there.

    Canadian Dental Association indicates the formula/milk/juice in sippy cups can aid in tooth decay, but I think that is only if they are sipping on it all day and not just at meals (the same with bottles).    I have no idea why your pedi would say juice is okay, but not formula.

    Huh. Our pedi told us to start giving DS formula in sippy cups at meal times to begin to wean him off bottles.....

    hmm... very strange. I'll have to ask next time I go. I would think it is a great way to wean off the bottle, makes sense.

    I posted below about giving formula in the sippy cups.  My pedi told me to start putting formula in the sippy to start weaning her off bottles.  I think that as long as you give them the formula in a sippy as a meal and not just let them sip on it all day long it should be fine.  Yes, formula can decay their teeth.  I felt like DD needs to start learning to use the sippy because I don't want her to still depend on the bottle once she turns one.  DD drinks her formula out of her sippy in the same time that it takes her to drink a bottle.
