How did you introduce sippy/straw cups?

We started with sippy cup with water when she was about 8 months old. It took awhile to catch on but I would give it to her after she ate so she didn't get frustrated with it.

The daycare lady started putting BM in a straw cup around 11 months. She said DD was interested in the other other kids drinking out of straw cup and took that lead to introduce it.

Has your LO ever taken a bottle?

I poked the straw cup in her mouth and squeezed so she figured out there was good stuff in it. We haven't done sippies with her yet. I kind of hate sippies.

The zoli cup seems to be pretty magical for young babies.

We use sippies. I just started giving it to him with water around 6 months. He didn't necessarily take it at first but over time, he was fine with it.

We gave him a sippy cup of water to play with/explore around 7 months. It took him a few tries to get anything out of it, but he can now. Not his favorite, but he will drink from it if he wants to.

I can't find it to link but there are straw sippy cups that you can squeeze the bottom to help it come out when they are leaning.

Also I started giving her pouches straight from the pouch and just squeezing a little and then she just figured out how to suck to get more.. I think the pouches helped her more than the cups actually.

Oh that stinks! Hope it's a quick strike.
