Sippy cup failures?

[bananapancakes]

We've tried like 18 million different cups and the only one he has been successful with are the take and toss ones. Have you tried those?

[lindyanne]

We had to start with take and toss and then we were able to transition to back to some of the other ones I tried.

I actually have not tried those ones yet, I'll pick them up tomorrow.

I can bring an extra one on Sunday so she can try before you buy, if you'd like!

DD likes the take and toss ones. She also liked the Munchkin ones with the soft spouts when she was transitioning. They were very bottle-like.

Try using a straw like a pipette with water. Put a little water in a straw, put your finger over it and when they latch, let go so the water comes out.

I just kept giving bottles at night and naps, but kept trying with cups at all other times of the day. Eventually he started drinking out of the cup- we had luck with the Take and Toss and the the Lollacup

This is what we did too. He never figured out sippy cups but caught on to take & toss cups this way.

We just did it cold turkey over the course of a long weekend. By the third day, he had mostly caught on.

We also went through an obscene amounts of sippys. He will finally take take and toss, Tommee Tippee, and just today took a straw cup. I really feel like it's guess and check. I have a ton of cups in storage he won't even touch.

Ha. We are sippy cup failures in that DS can drink from every sippy cup we have but he won't. She he only drinks sippies at daycare. We need to fix this soon as he is almost 14 mo..

DD will barely drink from one. She doesn't really want formula/milk anymore and she doesn't really like anything other than drinking from a regular cup, which obviously doesn't really work well. It sucks.

[jeaniebueller]

We had to really force the sippy cup. He eventually transitioned to the nuby ones, but it took probably a day or two of him refusing liquids.

I can't believe your DD is turning one.

DS was also a fan of the Take n Toss, but I think that is because it's what they use at day care. Peer pressure motivation is very strong with him!

Now we are trying open cups from time to time...UGH

We used one like this at first: www.amazon.com/NUK-Learner-Silicone-Single-Colors/dp/B002UXQRLG

It has a silicone spout that is closer to a bottle and was the only one he would drink from at first. Eventually he got the hang of a regular sippy cup.

We have been through a few sippy cups trying to get DD to drink from one. We had pretty good luck with the Tommee Tippee ones, but have to take the stopper thing out or else she won't drink from it at all.  That gets kind of messy.  Randomly we found out her preferred sippy cup is a Camelbak when she started drinking out of mine that I use for commuting. We got her one of these and she drinks happily from it.

This is how we taught DD to drink from a straw at 6 or 7 months. It was cool.

I am in the same boat. DD can and will drink out of a straw/sippy cup but she takes about 3 sips ever and then pushes it away or throws it. It's a freaking mess too. I have tried at least 10 different types and she hates all of them equally. I'm bad at giving up and just giving her the bottle too....

We are using the Froggy one from Ikea. It's a hard sippy cup with skinny handles on the sides. I bought an Avent one but it is so poorly designed I may as well just throw it out. I would just hand it to her randomly and one day she figured out that she could drink from it.

She takes water in it. We haven't started milk or formula in it yet. She has her 15 month appointment next week so I will ask then. I'm not terribly worried.  She only recently figured out you can suck stuff out of a pouch.  It's all good.
