Which cup first?

Babyeleven

Hello all! I have a question regarding drinking cups. My 7 month old has mastered drinking out of a cup assisted of course. We now however want to give her water in a cup with a lid that she could administer herself. My question is do we go to a sippy or a straw cup? I'm just not sure if developmently there is an order and want to avoid going backwards - not even sure if that's important anyway! Any advice is appreciated! Thank you

It's really hard to go backwards...

You can get both & see what works.

I have the Nuby and just got a cup with a lid and straw from target as well, she's tried both and I was surprised how quickly she figured out the straw.
I don't think there is any harm in trying any style first, just go for it.

Both of my boys preferred sippy cups without the 'no spill' plug/lid.  You could try that since your little one already prefers a cup.  My boys also love straws, but I try to avoid using them too regularly because I noticed it makes them a little more gassy (tend to swallow more air when drinking).
