Montessori Baby

 
 
I read Montessori from the start and am trying to incorporate some of its ideas with Julienne.  While I certainly don't agree with a few of their points as I don't believe in sleep training babies and love to babywear (they believe in baby sleeping in their bed from day 1 and letting the baby alone on the floor from the beginning to allow the baby to explore and develop), I really liked the idea of teaching your baby to use a regular cup from the get go.  So that's what we're doing.  With a shotglass.  Perfect size for a baby!  It has to be real materials, plastics are strongly discouraged.  This allows the child to develop a sensitivity and respect for materials, even if you do have to replace a couple of shot glasses.
