sippy cup help
DD takes water from the sippy cup very well. Either the nuby with the handles or the nuby with handles and straw. I tried offering formula from it and no luck. Tried a few times now. Please share your experiences switching from the bottle.

sippy cup help
I think that's pretty typical of infants. I assume she's under 1? My DD loved water in a sippy but milk--no way!
My DD didn't fully switch until around 18 months. It's something I personally wouldn't rush. They're babies and feel comfort with the bottle. When she's ready, she'll use the cup.

Re: sippy cup help
The doctor wants her on the cup ASAP. They recommend before the first birthday

Re: sippy cup help
I took the bottle away at 12 months. Both kids loved water from straw sippy, but not milk. I would offer it everyday from straw sippy but they still wouldn't drink it. So my kids don't drink milk. They get their dairy else where, yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, etc. They are both happy and healthy kids. Im glad I took the bottle away when I did.

sippy cup help
It took about 6 different types of sippy cup before I found one DS loved. So it may be trial and error (which is expensive, I know!). He loves the Tommee Tippee cups.

Re: sippy cup help
We did a transition at 1 year.
Off formula and off bottle.
Cold turkey.

DD is now 17 months and I have to agree. I tried the switch and she refused. She's not the best eater as it is. Only 20lbs. So she gets her morning and night bottle. She loves her milk, just not in a cup so I'm hoping when shes ready she'll make the switch. I stopped worrying about it. Is 10 minutes total in a day going to hurt her teeth? I'm thinking no. Now the pacifier....that's gone.

I guess putting it this way makes sense. She doesn't use a pacifier either, hasn't used it since 4 months and never really liked it either.
