What's your baby drinking out of?

[13liza]

We've been trying a bunch of different sippy cups, but he's only sort of figured out one with a softer spout. He does really well with a regular cup, but that is messy. Bottles for formula still.

[baylorbear]

We used the wow cup with the handles for DD1 and have started using it with DD2. She doesn't really get it but tries. If she doesn't like that, I have some tommee tippee straw cups. DD1 uses a kids camelback or regular cup and I'm hoping eventually DD2 can use the camelback, I really like those. She mainly nurses but has no problem with a bottle.

My boob. Or water out of an open glass. Stubborn mule.

[RoLoMa]

He nurses and takes bottles at daycare. We also give him an array of sippy cups with water to mess around with. He gets soft spout, hard spout at daycare, straw cups, and the miracle 360. He can drink out of all of them but doesn't really get the concept of lifting them up to get the water to the spout/opening. Mostly he just likes to chew on them at this point but he's getting there.

We are still using bottles. He won't even hold it himself! He can hold it, but he just won't when he's eating. He just plays with it. Is there any way to know if they're "ready" for a sippy cup?

[geners]

Other than boob & bottle, C can drink from a straw cup (I will occasionally put some water in it, or if he didn't finish his last bottle before dinner on days I work, I'll put the leftover milk in the straw cup so it doesn't go to waste) but he mostly prefers dumping it everywhere, banging it against the high chair tray upside down, etc., lol. But he will drink from it sometimes. He hasn't gotten the hang of a traditional sippy cup or the 360 yet though we haven't tried either in quite a while.

We are still on the bottle for formula but she takes a sippy cup with a juice/water mixture with puffs and meals. We use the Nuk sippy cup with the handles removed, because they seemed to throw her off.

Husband says she does well with bm in a sippy but anytime I try water she just spits it out and looks at me like I wronged her.

Yep. EG is not a fan of just water either. I get an ultimate look of disgust when I try to give only water.

[tina515]

Bottle for formula/BM and sippy cup at meals for water. we have one with handles that we got from IKEA that she likes, and we have the take n toss ones that I have to hold for her. She can drink out of them ok, but doesn't understand the lifting of the cup to get the water to the spout. She'll do ok with open cups too, again, if I hold them for her. She's only had water in these so far and she seems to like it. Ahhhhhhhh refreshing

[obscurereference]

She's using a bottle. I don't do sippies until after a year.

[cnf2013]

Bottles for formula and water out of a normal cup, with assistance, obviously. She can't figure out the sippy cups, straw cups, or the 360 cup, mostly because of how hard she has to suck to get stuff past the valves.

[HelgaHuffle]

Water in a straw cup. He picked it up super fast. He will drink a ton of water if I let him. He can't figure out a sippy so I stopped trying. Oh and he'll drink out of an open cup too.

Otherwise, the boob. He's never taken a bottle.

[emmylo413]

She mostly nurses and takes a bottle. She holds the bottle herself at her second feed of the day and the first one she takes from our sitter. We have a variety of cups that we've been letting her try. So far the preference seems to be for the Nuk soft spout and the Lanisoh Momma straw cup. We also bought some 360s that I expect she may prefer further down the line. We're not in a big hurry for the cup since she just started taking the bottle again after weeks of work.

[expatmama11]

Bottles for formula but gets different kinds of sippy cups at meals and though out the day. I try to give him a cup at meal times that teaches him to tip the cup up in order to drink. For other times we use ones with straws that don't make a mess.

I will probably start to give him formula in a sippy cup around 11 months to help him transition away from bottles.

[christina]

Boob, bottle, skippy, and open cup. Mostly still breastfeeding.

[salemkitty]

Bottle at daycare, sippy with water to play with at "meals" but mostly boob

[lormor]

Boob.

[evenkeeled]

I haven't been great on this. She chews on the straw one, as drank from an open cup with husband assisting and tried a sippy. She doesn't get the lifting up part of it. She will occasional hold her bottle but likes for you to do it. Her favorite is trying to drink her bottle, while standing up and bouncing.

Not an easy feat.

[aswedishbee]

Bottles for formula and sippy with water at meals. We just transitioned from the nipple to soft spout without issue but she still doesn't get the handles so those are still off. Daycare said she does well with regular hard spout sippys but I have 3 of these other ones and I'm gonna keep using them.
She's a thirsty baby like I was and loves water.

[beaglemom2011]

We do bottles at daycare and use a nuk soft top sippy or miracle 360 cup with water when having solids at home. I have to help lift these. She still prefers nursing at home though.

[Unknown]

Boobs, bottles and sippy

[byjove]

She has just started taking a sip of water out of my cup if I offer/help her. Otherwise boob, and bottles of milk at daycare.

Us exactly. It's so cute watching her hold the little sippy in her hands. We took the handles off this week and she does so much better.

I've tried formula in the cup but she doesn't do well. I think she thinks the sippys are for juice only lol.

[mosy]

Silas is nursing and is learning how to use a sippy cup with a soft spout (so far only water). I hope he'll take pumped milk from it at some point, because he's refused a bottle ever since May after I went away for the weekend.

[mimimama]

EFF here. We introduced the sippy to LO when she started solids 2 months ago. I think it's a Nuby brand? I can't recall now. We're just using what we have from DD. We offer water in sippy during solids. She's still iffy about it but some days, she actually drinks from it.

[belou]

Formula out of the bottle but water out of a bunch of different sippy cups or water bottles. My favorite so far are the toss n go cups-they are easy for her to suck the water out and easy to clean for me.

[blackberryJam]

HelgaHuffle that is exactly us over here. This child loves water out of a straw cup and would guzzle it all day if I let her. She crawls over to her toddler sister's cups and will take them if I am not fast enough to get to them first!

[crinita]

I have tried bottles, sippies and straw cups, all have been utterly and repeatedly rejected in favor of boobs. I am still pushing the sippy and straw cup everyday. Eventually he has to figure it out!

[cnf2013]

This straw cup!
