Hi There,
At what age do you start with a sippy cup? I was looking at some larger bottles for DD and saw a sippy for 4 months and two different kinds for 6 months. Since she can hold her own bottle, I don't need handles, right? I got the four month cup since it was on sale, but I'm not sure what to do... What are you all doing? Thanks!
Re: sippy cup confusion
My son is having a hard time with sippy cups in general. I first introduced one at about 4 months just to familiarize him with it. Then again at 5 months, trying get him to hold it. Now, he'll drink from it, but won't hold it. I hope your LO likes it!
About a month ago, I bought a sippy cup for 4 month olds that has big handles. DD LOVES it, but I don't think she gets much out of it. It really needs to be tilted high up to get anything out. I'm going to go buy some with straws.
DS doesn't get how to use a regular sippy cup at all. So I was thinking of getting one with a straw. Question though, did your little one every bite the straw? DS has teeth and I don't want him to bite a piece of the straw off!!

We started giving DS a sippy @ 4 months. I give him the sippy cup with a little water at every "meal" in the high chair. It took him a couple weeks to be able to drink out of it on his own. But now he loves it & can drink out of it all on his own. I have two different ones(Avent & Nuk). DS preferes the Nuk. But both cups have handles but the Nuk's handles can be taken off.
I've thought about trying the straw cups soon.
