rejecting sippy cup?

He was taking it and drinking water and out of no where he's started to push it away. I put a little formula in the cup and he drank it maybe for a minute. Then pushed it away. Anyone else? Suggestions? We were doing so good moving away from bottles. Maybe he's bored and I need a different style cup?

Re: rejecting sippy cup?

  • I'm curious to hear responses, because we've tried several different cups, and DS has no interest in them. I've even tried giving it to him when I know he's hungry, in the hopes that he will give in and just use it. No dice. He gave up a pacifier on his own at around 10 weeks, and has not taken to any kind of lovey yet. So bottle breaking may be our habit of struggle.

  • It took until dd was almost 2 and about 19 different sippys to find one she liked. She too gave up her pacifier very early and never liked it much before. Bottle was a big comfort for her.
  • Apparently I'm the only thing DS3 wants.  He gave up the pacifier at 6 months, the bottle at 7.5 months and has never taken to a sippy.  I'm really missing the break I used to get before but now I'm on a short leash and can't be away for more than 3 hours.  I bought more sippy's today to try to see if there is anything he will take.

  • the only sippy that DS1 would take was the NUK with the latex spout that's like a "learning sippy."  He wouldn't even take other cups with harder spouts for several months, probably close to 15 months or so I can't really remember. 

    I've tried to give DS2 this same cup but he won't take it yet.  I'm going to keep trying though.
