I've been reading a lot about zippy cups instead of bottles. When did you start introducing them? LO is six months and is super aggressive with his bottles, is it too soon?
I think we started a month or so ago. I didn't want to put water in a bottle, he was having poop issues, so we started the sippy cup with solids and he caught on pretty quickly. I don't put formula in it, just water and sometimes a little touch of juice.
We have the nuby and munchkin ones with handles. They work great!

TTC #2: September 2018 Me: 36 | DH: 39 Mirena removed 9/13/2018 after 6 years BFP 11/11/2018 | MC @ 5.5 weeks on Thanksgiving July 2019 - Diagnosed with Secondary Unexplained IF August 2019 - 2.5 mg of Letrozole = Never Ovulated so Trigger and IUI were cancelled 9/30/2019 - IUI #1 (5 mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFP but Betas showed CP @ 4 weeks 10/28/2019 - IUI #2 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN 11/25/2019 - IUI #3 (7.5mg of Letrozole, Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN 12/24/2019 - IUI #4 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Crinone after IUI) = BFN 1/24/2020 - IUI #5 (50mg of Clomid + Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN and an Ovarian Cyst 3/2/2020 - Taking a break to reset/NTNP 11/1/2020 - At peace with where things are in life and are no long actively TTC. Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
We gave DD sippy cups at 5 month and she did great (was also still getting bottles) With DS we have tried and he wants nothing to do with them. I wish he did I would like to give him a cup with his lunch or dinner!
We started with a sippy at about 7 months with only about 2 finger widths of water in it at a time. We typically give LO the sippy cup when he's eating.
About 5.5 months I started giving LO a sippy with some water in it. I gave it throughout the day so she could just explore/play with it. She loves putting it in her mouth but struggles from time to time getting the whole tip it to get water idea. I'm in no rush, I just wanted her to get used to it.
Funny enough she's always grabbing at my straw cup so I may need to buy her one of those soon.
