He loves to hold his own sippy though. He actually double fists, one sippy and one straw cup. He's ready for college.

He's been using a sippy without our help since probably 7 months? We started using a straw cup in the past few weeks in an attempt to bottle wean but he's definitely not a fan... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918714 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:48:27 +0000 kiddosc 918714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E didn't really get the sippy cup and he was able to hold his own bottle. We used straw cups and when we used a sippy we would help him tip it up. Around 13 months it just clicked one day. I think he figured it out from watching the other kids at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918595 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:18:09 +0000 Mrsbells 918595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter never held her own bottle, but she got the hang of the zoli cup straw cup right away. You should try that cup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918590 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:17:20 +0000 looch 918590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son hated sippy cups! He also didn't really get how the straw worked, so we went right to an open cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918570 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:13:06 +0000 loveisstrange 918570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think some kids just dont like sippies. C always hated them and moved right to a straw cup.</p> <p>She held her own bottle from pretty young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918561 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:10:33 +0000 littlebittyhouse 918561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we only use straw cups and when I give G a sippy he totally doesn't get it. He holds his own bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918506 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 07:55:37 +0000 regberadaisy 918506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. When we introduced a straw sippy she had held her own bottle once but not regularly. It was never an issue for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-918501 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 07:54:15 +0000 mediagirl 918501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: ha! M still doesn't get tipping the open cup. She puts her face down into it and sucks the water up. :) I don't really like sharing cups with her...backwash central. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-917783 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 21:47:29 +0000 Weagle 917783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO only uses straw cups. She doesn't hold her own bottle, and I do think that it makes using a sippy really hard for her. We have to hold the sippy and bottle. Strangely, she understands tipping an open cup, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-and-sippy-cup#post-917734 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 21:33:31 +0000 mediagirl 917734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your lo use the a sippy cup? If so, did they learn to hold their own bottle before you moved to sippies? I was thinking about this today, M doesn't understand sippy cups. I wonder if it's because we never taught her to drink from her own bottle. She was always held and helped when drinking from the bottle.</p> <p>So, I thought maybe this is why she doesn't get the sippy? She picked up the straw cup pretty quickly. I don't think she needs to use the a sippy cup, but I notice that most kids at daycare use them. I feel like she's the odd kid out with her straw cups! </p> <p>Is your lo a straw cup or sippy cup kid? </p>
