 12 month check up today 
The doctor told me that Jared has the height of an 18 month old and the weight of a 2 year old.   (he's 27 pounds and 32 1/2 inches). He told me to start weaning Jared off the bottle.   Are there any good sippy cups that you used to wean your baby off the bottle?

 Re: 12 month check up today 
Wow! Jared is sucha big boy!!
  Julia loves the Nuby sippy cups.  ETA: The nubys have a soft tip like the bottle nipple. Might be better for him to start on after the bottle.

 Re: 12 month check up today 
Go Jared, big boys are a plus.  My 2 year old is 32.5 lbs and 36".  
  We used the Nuby sippy cups too.  Andrew was BF adn never took a bottle, but he took to these cups really well.  And they are very easy to clean, which is a plus in my book!

 Re: 12 month check up today

 Re: 12 month check up today 
John is being tough about giving up the bottle as well.  I tried so many different cups but I think I found the one.  Its the Evenflo tumbler.  Its long like a bottle.  
  I cant believe he is 1 already

 Re: 12 month check up today 
We liked the Gerber ones with the softer spout and the Nuby but that one took longer to adapt to then the Gerber.

 Re: 12 month check up today 
We have some healthy big boys.... at Nate's 12M checkup 2 weeks ago, he was 25 lbs and 33 in.
  I can't offer any help on sippy cups.  Nate refuses to drink out of one.  I've tried the Gerber, Advent, and Nuby.  He drinks from a straw when he has juice or water, but won't drink milk in anything but a bottle.

 Re: 12 month check up today 
wow - he is big - Kevin had his 16 month visit and he was 26.5 lbs and 32 inches.  He was in the 60-ile when he use to always be in the 90-ile!!!  But everyone asks me if he is older - so gosh what you must get - lol!!!
 
  Anyway, my transition off the bottle went pretty easy.  He wouldn't at first take milk in any old sippy.  My dr recommended trying to the straw ones - but he just poured that all over.  So I got the NUBY ones and he took to it immediately.  In two weeks all day bottles were gone (I transitioned on a week).  My dr recommended doing day ones first, then morning then night so I followed that plan.  I waited a bit to transition the night one because he started sleeping so well and we were afraid to jinx it...since he had never been a great sleeper and we were enjoying the peace.  We just started recently and it has been fine too...not as easy as the bottle but still fine.  I think the Nuby was a great transitional sippy!  Now he will take milk in any sippy cup and doing great with the straw ones as well!
