Sippy vs straw cup

sliz

I bought the munchkin first sippy with soft spout and a straw cup - DD seems to be doing better with the straw cup although it is a lot of chewing on the straw and a sip (which surprises her) every now and then - the munchkin sippy is impossible even for me and dh - i am returning it - I couldn't find nuk learner sippies locally so I also tried the take and toss which seem easier to drink from - Anyone else's lo go straight to a straw cup?

K only uses a straw cup (or a regular straw when we're out). She never used a regular sippy.

My ped actually recommends not using a sippy at all and going straight to either a straw or regular cup.

S uses sippys, but really prefers the straw cup. She has got some suction power, those straws are hard to get anything out of, lol:-)

We started her on a sippy cup because we had some, but she never really got anything out of them.  Our pedi suggested a straw cup at her 9 mos. appointment, and she really became a champion straw cup user.  Interestingly enough, she's now better at using the sippy cups now, too.

straight to straw cups here, both girls. The physical therapist actually said that it was great they did that:)

We don't use sippies. We use straw cups for water and take n toss for milk with meals. We could probably just use straw cups exclusively but we only have 3 of them and we are working on drinking from a regular cup (we can use the take n toss without the lid so no point to buying more straw cups.)
