straw or sippy?

I"m sure you guys have discussed and decided what's best. sippy cup or straw cup. She doesn't care either way. Thoughts?

Re: straw or sippy?

  • Best for what? What's best for my kid right now is a sippy cause she hasn't mastered the straw yet. But we normally have a sippy and straw cup with water everyday to work on it.

    I think when we discussed this in the past, it was said that SLPs suggest a straw cup because the way they manipulate their lips and tongue is better for speech development. Since they shouldn't be walking around with it in their mouth all day anyway I don't see a difference. We use both, but a regular sippy most often.

    We use this cup. Skipping the sippy altogether. No mess and L took right to it.

    We have these also and A really likes them! We found ours at BRU. He uses the Nuby sippies and these, for the most part.
