  I liked the Nuk soft spout sippy cups. https://www.nuk-usa.com/cups_and_accessories/fun-grips-soft-spout-trainer/
  
  
  With DD we did water when we got the OK from the pedi. With DS, we will try BM since he refuses all bottles.

  you can give them a small amount of water when offering solids. you can start out directly with straw cups. they're better for your LO's oral development. we like take and toss straw cups-- they're very inexpensive and widely available (wal-mart, amazon). avoid sippy cups with a valve, since they're bad for their ears.

  LO is 6.5 months old

  i've decided it's probably time to start a sippy cup? 

  when did you start them?

  what did you put in it?

  LO is so far EBF/breastmilk in bottles

    I started the sippys around this time. I only did water or water/w juice. I never put breastmilk or formula in the sippys. Around a year, I did give them some milk in the sippys, but we are just not big milk drinkers here.
  
   My thinking was-I bf, but because I worked outside the home, they were used to bm and formula in bottles. They went off the bottle easily at a year and I kept nursing till self-weaning. They were used to the cup so it was never an issue.

  i went out and got a Nuk spouty cup.  i thought putting BM in it might be a waste. perhaps i'll try a little water
