some opinions - sippy cups

in June 2011 Moms

Ok so i'm way behind the 8 ball on the sippy cup - maybe i'm just lazy - but i like giving DS his bottle and when he has lunch he just drinks from a regular cup with my assistance.... should i introduce a sippy cup? what are the pro and cons? is it nessecary?

 

side note - DS already feeds himself with a spoon so i'm sure he'd do fun with a sippy - but i just haven't really felt the need.....

    I haven't pushed the sippy cup at all.  We have 2 for N but he just bangs them around if he tries doing them on his own.  If he actually wants to drink out of it, we tip it for him (yeah he's a bit coddled in that respect :).  He will also drink from a straw or out of a cup with our assistance.  I'm not too worried about it.

    It's up to you and your pedi really.

    Our pediatrician recommended we start transitioning at 9 months and wanted the bottle gone by around 12 months.  She drinks less than 1 bottle a day so we haven't been super worried about it... but she loves her sippys so that has been nice.

    We've been doing straw sippys for a while because I want A off the bottle by 1 (maybe sooner). FWIW she has a tougher time with regular sippys, but I don't like those much anyway.

    We also intend to be rid of bottles around the 1 year mark.  For some reason, J will not use the straw cups even though he knows how.  He also will not use the sippy cups that you have to suck on to get anything.  But he does like and use the tippy cups and since he does also play with them, nothing but water goes in them for now.  If he is drinking from a regular cup with your help and you are not too worried about transitioning him immediately, do what you are most comfortable with and what is working just fine
