Sippy Cup at what age?

atc282

I bought 2 sippy cups about 2 months ago and one DD "kind of" got the hang out of it (i.e. she was able to get a swig of her drink) but other DD was totally uninterested.

What age did your LOs start "really" using a sippy cup? My DDs are now 8 months and was just curious if this is the age to start trying it out again...

Thx

around 12mo they should switch from bottle to sippie cup. With Griffin i started him with practice sippy cups around 7mo... just with water- to play with and get used to it...at 11mo i started to swap out one bottle/day with the sippie- and he was on all sippy cups by 12mo.

the twins still use bottles and are almost 13mo - i have been a slacker with them transitioning - they have used a sippy a few times and are pretty good with it- but Gray is such a fussy eater that i hate to ruin what is working with him- and like to keep him and Gibby doing the same... so i'm going much slower transitioning them to sippies this time. I'm thinking by 14mo i'll have them totally sippy.

we started offering them with water at dinner around 8-9 months, and they mostly just played with them...Milina got the hang of actually drinking from it around 10 months and Ava just started drinking from it this week (altho she was doing it at dcp's sooner)...so just now we are going to try switching from bottles to cups this weekend or next for milk...they are drinking water from the cups like champs...

1 yr and it took Emerson a couple of weeks to get the hang of it.

introduced them at around 10mos, and it took a couple weeks to "get it". we only put water/juice in sippy cup still. our ped said not to worry about the transition of milk in sippy till 15mos.
