It would be like learning to drive on the motorway for us - too much all at once! you'll have more success if you introduce one thing at a time. Personally, i'd change the milk first then try adding the 'handles' you can buy to the avent bottles - to get the lo used to having to pick the bottle up, then you could change to the avent magic beaker with handles. Good luck with it x Vicky
