Bottle to Sippy - Advice anyone?
Operation Sippy Cup commences today as W is becoming less and less fond of his bottles. We tried formula in a sippy yesterday and he did well so we are going to transition him to full time sippy this week. Any advice? What helped you to make the transition to sippy easier on you and baby? TIA!

Re: Bottle to Sippy - Advice anyone?
We started with this...
then we transitioned to:
and now we use...
Is the first one similar to this?
He won't drink out of the hard tipped ones, but maybe once we get him more used to only a sippy. He also refuses to hold his bottles (because he's lazy, he CAN, he just won't) so the handles are a Godsend for us. We also got him on of these:
And he seems to like it. He really loves to drink out of our straws at restaurants though, so I'm assuming it's similar to that for him. Would you recommend continuing with the straw one or will that become a nuisance later on?
the major different between the first one you posted and the NUK is that the one you posted isn't as soft at the NUK. So, if the one you have works go for it! If not check out the NUK. It was a gift from the Lord above for us.
Kadee wouldn't take a bottle AT ALL from birth. I nursed her until I went back to work... and then I pumped. We finally found the NUK sippy and she loved it. It was the ONLY thing she would drink from - well except me of course.
momma is right.. they will leak on you. I washed mine by hand after a while and it kept the leaking at bay... also one your little one starts teething you'lll have to check it for little tooffer holes from them biting on it.
Good Luck!
We still can't find a type of sippy that doesn't leak. We've got:
The playtex ones have worked best for us so far, once we got him to actually take a hard spout, but now the little valves inside are leaking. I'm so ready for him to use a real cup, without spilling it of course! I've heard great things about Tommee Tippee
