Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Sippy cups already?

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?

Re: Sippy cups already?

  • DS just started to understand how to get liquids out of the sippy.

  • 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!

  • 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 just introduced Sippy cups with solids this week, and even though she hasn't quite gotten the hang of them, she really loves them.
  • 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.

  • At 6 months we introduced the sippy cup. DD only uses it at meals and it's only filled with water.

  • 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.
