Sippy cup info

because I didn't know any of this:

 https://www.raisehealthyeaters.com/2011/06/5-things-parents-should-know-about-starting-and-stopping-sippy-cups/

Short version: 

Only use traditional sippy cups for a quick transition to cups (~a month), then switch to straw cups. Teach your kid to drink from a real cup between 12-15 months, then just use sippy cups for when you're out. Ditch the sippy between 2-3 years old.

I'm glad I didn't go buy 6 Nuk Learners at $8 a piece.G knows how to drink out a real cup and would prefer it that way, so maybe we can skip a few steps?

    I used sippy cups with the older kids for about 6 months or so. By 18 months they drank out of regular cups. Not all kids are willing to do that though.

    My pediatrician suggested taking the plastic spill-proof thing out of our sippy cups so that it would only be used as a transition to the real cup.

    We use regular cups at home and reusable water bottles when we're out. I figured it's easier to have less to transition from.

    That's funny you posted this. His pedi told me to offer real cups when he's in his chair and contained yesterday.

    Oh and I am going to get him a craw cup though. He can drink out of my camelback like it's nothing. I may just get him a kids' size camelback.

    We got a straw sippy the other day. My darling DH was trying to help clean up and threw the straw part away.

    I found this regular cup sippy things we are trying out. It looks like a cup with a pressure lid.When you drink, your lips press the lid down and the liquid comes out. When you stop, it is spill proof. I think it has handles as well.

    Good to know. Oliver loves to drink out of a real cup, but he doesn't love his sippy. He loves straws, but hasn't really gotten how to use them down. He thinks they're more of a fun toy than anything.

    We're skipping the sippy. It's not worth fighting him about it. He does really well with the regular cup, obviously I have to guide it for him but he's good at tipping it back and controlling the amount of liquid he gets.

    Great...another thing for me to worry about. Not only do I have to worry about transitioning to a sippy but now I have to worry about the right sippy and giving that up too

    Geesh, wish I wouldn't even have read it
