Introducing a sippy cup

I started this with DD who is 7 1/2 months but she is only using it as a teether. I tried it myself to see how easy it is to get water out of it, and I had to suck pretty hard...when/how did your DC figure out how to get the liquid out and use it the right way?

I bought the playtex ones with the handles.

yes i have tried the same thing a few days ago, now its sitting in the shelf, he had no interest i was actually holding the cup for him trying to get him to drink, he is also 7.5 months, maybe i will give him a couple more weeks.

does your dd hold her bottle to drink???, my ds has not started that yet, so i guess he needs to drink the bottle independently before he starts drinking out of the sippy cup

Re: Introducing a sippy cup

I started introducing the cup to my DD when she was around 6 months and she had no interest in it either. it was only around 11 months that she started to try more and a couple weeks after she was able to drink from it. it took her a while.

I introduced a training sippy cup to my DS, he is 5.5 months old over the weekend and he did well. I used thinkbaby brand. On the other hand, the muchin brand was not so great, plus it spilled.
