CPT: What is your baby drinking out of?

V&G101808 · June 2014

Let me know if they're drinking milk from one and water/juice from another... also feel free to share product links!

N gets his milk in bottles and water at meal times in a soft top sippy (Playtex kind with handles).

I'm debating if we need to switch to milk in sippys?

shivers7 · June 2014

I voted ss as he's on boob and sippy. Mostly water in the sippy but will drink milk from it too. We also let him drink from regular cups with help.

ludali · June 2014

Boob, bottle at daycare and sippy for water - but she's not great with the sippy...and already 11 months, so not sure what to do! Start putting some milk in the sippy?

boob, sippy, cup and moms waterbottle

LokiLahve · June 2014

SS....you forgot boob & sippy

kwrecks · June 2014

I put boob, bottle, and sippy.

She nurses 4 times a day, and she gets water in her sippy (the straw kind, she can't figure out the regular kind!) at meal times, and she will get a bottle every once in a while.

MissyCee · June 2014

Boob, bottle and sippy! Sippy I've only been putting water in and she has that throughout the day and has gotten pretty good at using it, though sometimes she dribbles on herself. I don't usually give her a bottle during the day but I've been giving her one with some water in it at night in her crib so if she wants to chomp on something or wakes up thirsty she has something (the sippy cups will spill too much when she's laying on her back drinking) and that works well. She gets the boob on demand throughout the day.

She also does like to sip from a cup. If I help hold it and tip it slowly she does really well. She knows how to put her mouth on it and really likes using a cup so we'll let her do that sometimes too.

thoughtfulmommy · June 2014

Mostly boob and sippy (for water). He gets a bottle once in awhile when I am out.

I have the avent bottles that you can change the top into a soft top sippy so when he holds the bottle/ sippy it is the same.

Coconuthead · June 2014

I voted ss. He gets boob and refuses to drink from bottle or sippy but will take water from an oral syringe or my water bottle cap.

TrueBeliever925 · June 2014

Bottle and sippy (and the occasional from mama's bottle or cup).

Bottle for milk and sippy for water/juice.

I've been trying to get him to try a straw sippy but he ain't havin' it.

catskitch · June 2014

boob and bottle for milk. sippy for water. although he hardly drinks from the sippy. I was able to get him to drink from the hard spout sippy

oxo tot sippy

Snowbird7 · June 2014

Bottle and sippy cups. He can hold both of them, but has trouble with the whole gravity thing. We have to tilt him backwards in order for it to work, like this:

ELauren88 · June 2014

SS boob and hard top sippy only. Havent used bottles in months, and learned the hard top sippy about a week ago.

MommyAmes2 · June 2014

C uses a soft spout sippy for water/juice. She holds it herself too.

Bottle for formula.

Cosmic+Love · June 2014

Boob, bottle and sippy (the kind with a straw) for water with solids.

ETA: I'm so bold.

TrueBeliever925 · June 2014

Just reading this made me realize how freaking smart and resilient kids are.

Learning how to drink from all these different sources. Especially while popping teeth, sitting up, rolling, crawling, walking, learning to talk, learning about the world around them.

I'm sure I couldn't handle learning all of this stuff at once!

I agree! Whenever we have a rough night, I always think about how much worse it is for LO. So many changes.

Right? I lose my mind when they move an item at the grocery store.

LEMSA · June 2014

Everything. All the things. Sippy w soft spout, also w straw. Boob and bottle.

He wasn't liking plain water, so I did a splash of 100% juice for some flavor. He's done well w it.

courtneykid · June 2014

Boob when I'm around. Bottle for pumped milk. She has both hard and soft top sippys for water and does well with both!

BlondieBia21 · June 2014

Bottle for milk/water. We have tried about 7 different kinds of sippy cups with no luck.

Texasmomma13 · June 2014

Milk in the bottle, water in the sippy. Occasionally I'll give her a little water from the bottle. We mainly use the water the rinse out her mouth after eating solids. Food can get stuck up in her cleft still. We don't give juice.

ETA: since we have to remove the valve from the sippy for her to get anything, she doesn't hold it alone. I always guide her by holding the bottom.

BelhurstBride · June 2014

Boob only. I've offered water in a sippy a couple of times but she just throws it on the floor. I've been pretty lazy about really making offering it a habit, though.

NikkiD522 · June 2014

The other night he tried to put his mouth on the spigot in the bathtub.

I said sippy and bottle. I keep saying I want to wean him to only sippy.. but then I can't bring myself to do it.

kwrecks · June 2014

Random question, but does anyone who only gives a bottle once in a while notice that their baby has trouble holding the sippy?

I nurse her most of the time. Generally she only gets a bottle on average once a week. She doesn't hold the bottle when she gets it, but I think it's due to lack of exposure. She also doesnt really hold the sippy. She will sometimes, and I found a cup that she will hold but it leaks if she tips it too much.

ashleyamberRN · June 2014

Formula in bottle and water in sippy. Playtex brand soft top, we tried like 3 other kinds before finding she'd use that one. Everytime I try to put the attatchment that has handles it leaks. She won't hold it. She can hold her bottle but like @ayanahazel1‌ she has to be leaning back, so hopefully soon she'll atleast be able to do that with a sippy.

carrotcake06 · June 2014

Boob, bottle and sippy. One of them is really starting to refuse boob and bottle. He digs on sippies w water though, so I'm debating just putting some WCM in there and seeing how he does (they'll be one in 2 weeks). The only time he nurses well is first thing am. Other than that he pops on and off a million times.

The other one loves boob. And doesn't really care to hold his own bottle. He does alright w the sippy. But I've had to start nursing separately at times bc his brother is such a spaz on the boob.

BlueJewelM · June 2014

Bottle and sippy. I stopped nursing at 7 months so he gets all formula in bottle. Water at meal times in sippy. We use the nuby ones with the handles.

alexkylee · June 2014

She gets milk in bottles at home and daycare. She gets water in a sippy cup with every meal and whenever she's thirsty at daycare. As FIL says "That girl likes to hydrate." We use the nuby brand and just switched from two-handle to no handle. She picked up my cup yesterday and started drinking out of it so she's learning fast.

ELauren88 · June 2014

Weird...posted twice...hours later.

Marvel1013 · June 2014

Ugh she won't have anything other than the boob

WashingtonQueen · June 2014

Boob only.

Michelle N · June 2014

Mostly boob. I give him water out of a regular cup once or twice a day, and a sippy on occasion or on the go.

hoopsterlevittown · June 2014

Milk almost exclusively from boob, but sometimes from a bottle (especially if I'm gone for bedtime) or a sippy (when she's at the babysitter's); water from a soft-spout Playtex sippy and a hard-spout sippy from Ikea; some (messy!) practice drinking from a normal cup.

Critter015 · June 2014

Boob and sippy, DS never really took a bottle. He drinks water from a soft spout sippy. He caught on really quick and does a great job with it. He has already figured out how fun it is to throw the sippy on the floor from his high chair and wait for someone to get it for him.

Bunnyfer · June 2014

I wish LO would use a sippy... She keeps treating it like a bottle and gets pissed off

She'll get there - I've been offering for the last 2 months and now she is finally getting something from it at 11+ months. It suddenly kicked in...will hold it on her own and drink.
