We've gone back and forth a lot, but she learned to use the sippy first. I feel like I'd prefer her to use the straw cup for developmental reasons (plus it leaks less), but when I really need her to chug juice/water on a hot day, the sippy cup definitely gets the job done quicker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081336 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:55:02 +0000 aMohror 1081336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo drank out of one of my straw cups by accident and has used one evee since. Around 8 months as well I think. This past month I've been giving her sippy cups as well because she will eventually have to drink milk out of one and with the straw cups the milk creeps up and leaks out the straw :( She is still having trouble tipping the sippy on her own but she is catching on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081326 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:45:58 +0000 MamaJ 1081326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw. He couldn't figure out the sippy so I switched to straw and he got it pretty quickly. I thought about having him try the sippy again since he is older, but I haven't yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081236 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:57:14 +0000 googly-eyes 1081236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months and still has trouble with both. :( I've been offering them more and more but the truth is, this girl likes having liquids in a bottle, sprawling out on top of us, and having us hold the bottle. She will hold and drink water from a sippy. She doesn't like juice, or at least not apple juice. Ah, what a complicated life. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081222 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:49:36 +0000 winniebee 1081222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw mostly but he likes sippy now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081211 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:40:42 +0000 lemondrop 1081211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, whatever is clean at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081209 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:39:29 +0000 HLK208 1081209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly straw cups.

Going to our 9 mo appt. on Fri and will ask if we should try a sippy as well, even though I'd rather use the straw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-use-a-sippy-cup-straw-cup#post-1081113 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 21:53:13 +0000 mrsjyw 1081113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds has been using a straw cup since 6.5 mths.
