DD doesnt get that she has to tip the bottle/cup

Shes beef EBF until now and she is weaned, but she doesnt understand to tip the bottles or cups, she just ends up playing with them until i hold them for her, or lay her down and let her hold her own. Just let her figure it out even if it means skipping a feeding?

    LO's pediatration said that tipping is a pretty abstract concept to master and babies who weren't bottle fed tend to take a bit longer to grasp it because for them, sucking alone led to liquid.  LO still breast-feeds but he does have a sippy and unless it's completely full, I have to tip it up for him.

    DS is EBF too and never took bottles. He didn't understand to tip back the sippy either unless I did it for him. I started giving him a straw cup. He figured that out much easier and knows how to use it now.

    Maybe you can try giving her that instead. We use the Nuby ones.

    Max is the same way, but he refuses to even hold or touch the bottle in the first place, much less a sippy cup.

    yeah, DD doesnt always hold her bottles or cups. Sometimes i think she purposly spills and make a huge mess so i will come hold it for her:)

    I have tried the straw ones, she doesnt get that either, we hav also purchased the tilty cups, which is a great concept except they spill everywhere. I will just try to be patient, SO glad im not alone!

    DD likes the Tilty cup and straw cups, so she doesn't have to tilt them.

    THIS! We just recently got a straw cup, and it is wonderful. He will hold it himself and loves drinking his juice and water all on his own!
