Why is my baby so lazy?

Best cups for new cup drinkers, by far

[meij]

The only cup my bottle/sippy refusing almost one year old will drink out of is a Camelbak bite valve water bottle.

He grabbed his sisters one day and just started drinking like it was no big deal.

He actually might take his sippy cup to college.

I am chuckling at the thought of using this in public and having strangers think I'm feeding my child out of a honey bottle.

It's like drinking out of a mason jar. But for babies.

Our speech therapist gave us one for DD. I hate it because she bites on the straw and I push too hard and water just dribbles all over her because she's not even trying to suck out a drink.

I'm hoping she'll figure it out before she's three. In the meantime, I keep buying different ones every time I'm at the store, I no longer know what parts go with any cup. I bought a new cup last week that I have not even tried because I don't remember what to use to assemble the stupid straw.
Good Luck!

What is this, an empty honey container and a catheter?

When you squeeze his belly, drink comes up the straw so they only have to suck a little bit to get the reward. It's pretty neat, when your baby doesn't use the straw as a chew toy...

This is the issue I have with L. She has a number of soft-topped sippies and straw cups. She wants us to hold the cup for her, and only rarely tips it herself. Straw cups are for chewing on.

She is frustrated because she wants to be walking, but gets mad when we try to help her walk. She loves cruising, pulling up, pulling stuff down...but no steps.

It sounds like we are leading parallel lives.  LOL.

misotiny's new thing is standing (pretty sturdily) and pumping her arms up and down, so I shout, "Raise the roof!" and she keeps doing that and laughing.

Now she does this every time I say, "Raise the roof!"

But then she just sits after doing this.

No walking!

I'm sorry but this sounds like the most adorable thing ever.

I can't believe you have a 1 year old already!

It's actually an empty honey container and aquarium tubing. I know it looks crazy, but it works the best- you can squeeze the honey bear and it lets some liquid rise which so the kid doesn't have to suck as hard at first.

Is she just refusing to drink out of it or is she having a hard time operating? J refused milk from a straw cup until we dropped the bottles entirely. She would drink water from them though.

E won't even hold a straw cup. Talk about lazy! She just wants me to hold it for her while she sips.

I think it's a combination of refusal and difficulties.

I know she has a hard time with no-spill cups.  It seems tough for her to get any liquid out because these require a lot of strength and force to suck.

However, with easy flow, she just laughs and shakes the cups and gets water all over herself.  It's incredibly fun for her.

This is it exactly.

Nanny?
We're in the same boat no sippy cup, she was bottle refuser and won't hold them, and prefers to be held.
I was carried around at home until I was 6, so I can't blame her.

What?!  LOL.

You know my family was ridiculous about how much they babied me. 
I put my foot down at 16, and finally started cutting my own food!

DD was super picky about this as well but she would do the Take N Toss (cheapo) sippy cups in the smaller size. Then she moved on to an open cup pretty quickly. Honestly I tried to drink from some of the other sippy cups myself and they do kind of suck. Some of them really take a lot of effort to get anything out of.

I have not tried the Take N Toss.  Thanks.

Lifesavers! Only cup either of my kid would take.
