Jabber'is English Note---cup a baby

If you have a baby and bring her to the doctor's office for a 9-month visit, the pediatrician may ask you "Do you cup your baby now"? Or "Have you tried to cup her?" . Cupping a baby means feeding a baby using a cup instead of a bottle. These kind of questions are a really challenge to our listening. Indeed, different people in different walks use the words in their own way. At no case, this will be a problem to a native English speaker, where he/she has held a diploma. For us Chinese speakers, understanding these simple sentences may be a formiddable task, even though some of us has ever got 600+ in TOTEL test.
