Which feeding practice note is included in the 12-24 month exam?

At this age, the emphasis is on transitioning from a bottle to a cup and encouraging independent drinking while minimizing mess and prolonged bottle use. A no-spill cup fits this stage perfectly because it allows the child to practice drinking from a cup with less spill, supporting self-feeding skills and reducing the ongoing exposure to a bottle. This makes it the most specific and action-oriented feeding-note item for the 12-24 month exam. Other options are less precise for this exam item: a broad “new feeding practices” note is too general; “sip cup allowed” is vague about the transition and spill control; and “bottle feeding changes required” focuses on bottle use without naming the practical cup-type transition that’s being tested.
