Sippy cup

urfcerin · March 2016

what kind of sippy cup are you using, if you've introduced your LO to water yet?

I have a tommee tippee sippy for 4+ months. We started using it at 5 months once a day with a little water when LO gets her daily solid. She loves it and will actually scream if we take it away.
It is a no spill cup (they seem to be hard to clean the spout and can potentially get moldy) but since we just use water in it I'm not to worried. I do a microwave steam bag for the lid every now and then.

No water, just breastmilk, but my DS has preferred the Latch sippy cup when his gums are sore from teething

We do a little breast milk in a sippy at dinner (no solids yet but she sits at the table with us when she's awake). I've been trying all of them - she seems to like the Avent and the Nuk best but I think it's the handles she likes more than anything else.

We use a Playtex training sippy cup with a soft spout. We do breastmilk, no water, during his meal times (we are doing solids twice a day).

We have a Nuby transition one. It has two different spouts, one more like a bottle, one more like a zippy cup.

I've given her water twice. She likes to grab the cup and gnaw on the nipple. She'll suck some water out, too, but then it mostly dribbles out of her mouth into her bib.

DS doesn't do well with the bottle, but insists on uncovering me when I nurse him in public; so I bought the munchkin latch intro silly last weekend and he's done so well with it! He only gets breast milk, but he can hold the cup himself and does much better with it than a bottle. So pleased with how easy it was to transition!

Yea- I thought water/ sippy cups typically started around 9 months. At least that's what I think we did with my older son. And at that point, you weren't really giving water to drink/ stay hydrated but more to learn how to drink for something other than a bottle or breast.

I was told to start with cups at 6 months-just a splash of water along with meals at 6 months, just to learn about cups. So it looks like we'll be skipping bottles again, because I haven't needed them yet, and we're just over a week away from 6 months.

DD1 was EBF (no bottles) and used little shot glasses at home from 6 months, and a soft spout Nuk sippy for EBM for babysitters (I think we did this 3 times before 10mo). By a year she was using open top cups at home, and wow cups at daycare (spill proof, but you drink from the rim like a cup).

I introduced a playtex soft spout sippy cup in hopes LO will drink some milk from it eventually. He won't take a bottle. I had the same issue with DS1 refusing bottles and by 8 or 9 months he could easily drink a few ounces from a cup. He preferred a straw cup but I started that around 6 months with meals.

I just saw an article about those getting all moldy in the stopper and parents didn't know until it broke open or they broke it open. Just beware!

My LO would not take a bottle until we got her tongue and lip ties released, one week after the procedure she took a mam bottle!

We have this one too! Just gave it to him for the first time a few nights ago, but he immediately knew what to do and it was easy for him to hold. (He's 6 months.)
