straw cups

DD will only drink out of a straw cup despite repeated attempts to use a traditional sippy. We have tried every brand and I mean every brand. I am just curious if the straw on a consistant basis is ok? I read a lot of conflicting things about this. What are your thoughts.

    My daughter loves to drink out of straw cups especially if she sees me or DH doing it too.  I don't see a problem with it at all. :)

    DD will only use straw cups. The only issue now is that she never wants to tilt her head back when she tries to drink from a regular cup, but really, I'm pretty sure she'll figure that one out eventually. :)

    We're the opposite here. DS won't take a straw cup. I've shown him how to drink out of it but he only wants to play with the straw or tip the cup up like a regular sippy. Any other suggestions on introducing the straw? I probably just need to keep trying but thought I'd jump onto this thread and see if anyone had another suggestion.

    DS refused to use sippies at all. It wasn't until he got a hold of my iced tea one day that we realized he liked straws.  We use the take n toss cups like @LalaMama81 and we use real straws, too.  I always have a handful of extra straws in my purse or car for when I buy him juice/milk at the grocery store when our errands run long.

    This.  They are much better for them as they learn how to use their mouth for speech.  I never offered a traditional sippy.  Just regular straws.

    We use a straw cup all the time.  It is less mess and LO regulates how much she is getting.

    This. If your LO likes straws then use those.
