My LO prefers sippy's to straws, so we use normal sippys the majority of the time. </p> <p>@Adira: I use Playtex or Nubs sippy cups, and she likes them both! She prefers a harder spout than a soft one now that she's off the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387980 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:47:03 +0000 mediagirl 1387980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a thousand (ok not really) sippy cups.

LO doesn't do sippys. I am loving the ThinkBaby straw cup for his milk. It's pretty easy to get it very clean with a straw brush (essential for cleaning straw cups). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387971 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:44:17 +0000 fancyfunction 1387971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I have a Munchkin one. I do like it but the straw is in three parts which is kind of annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387911 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:26:00 +0000 Weagle 1387911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use straw cups for milk and water, but no milk in like Zoli. Milk only goes in straw cups that can be completely taken apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387889 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:19:43 +0000 MrsF 1387889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: M never took enough milk out of the sippys so we went back to straw cups for water and milk. I have a little cleaning brush to clean inside the straw and they seem nice and clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387871 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:13:59 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1387871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Take and Toss straw cups for milk and they are easy to lean. They're not leak proof, but our son is pretty good about not trying to dump it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387839 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:03:39 +0000 HabesBabe 1387839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just planning on using straw cups (the same ones) for milk and water-- LO has only been drinking from straw cups and doesn't "get" how to use a sippy and I don't want to introduce them since I've read that straw cups are better for their oral development. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387838 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:03:27 +0000 photojane 1387838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use straw cups for milk and haven't had any issues. I make a water cup &amp; a milk cup every morning. She has the water cup in her play area all day, and I leave the milk in the fridge until meal/snack time. She has all kinds of different cups though, straw &amp; spout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387835 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:03:13 +0000 dagret 1387835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I use the cups with bigger straws for milk...if they leak the dog licks the milk up. /TRUTH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387830 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:01:28 +0000 Adira 1387830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: What kind of straw cup do you use for milk?</p> <p>@autumnlove: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387824 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:59:45 +0000 buffalove 1387824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use separate cups for milk and water each day, then wash them at night. I'll usually offer DS both milk and water during meals, and I'll let him walk around with the water sippy all day. The milk goes back in the fridge for later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387821 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:59:35 +0000 lemondrop 1387821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw cups are too much of a pain for me to clean so we just use take and toss cups for everything. As he gets bigger, I make the holes bigger so he sucks on them less and less. He has one for milk and one for water each day, the rest are either going into the dishwasher or coming out (we have like 6). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387818 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:59:14 +0000 autumnlove 1387818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Think Baby straw cup for milk and Zoli or Tommee Tippee straw cup for water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387815 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:58:02 +0000 fancyfunction 1387815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two straw cups - one for milk and one for water.

Too hard to keep clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387756 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:40:44 +0000 Mrsjets 1387756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have seperate cups for milk and water - milk never goes in the straw cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387749 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:38:25 +0000 Adira 1387749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Ahh, our daycare has their own sippy cups, so I wasn't even going to provide them one, haha. But that's a good point about being able to clean the straw. With water, I never was that concerned, but with milk, I will be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387743 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:36:34 +0000 dagret 1387743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to use our zolis for milk bc I felt like it wouldn't get clean enough. Plus, the room he's moving into at daycare won't take straw sippys b/c of sanitation issues. so I have 2 spout cups too. Plus lots of other straw sippys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387739 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:35:22 +0000 autumnlove 1387739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 cups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-sippy-for-milk#post-1387723 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:32:31 +0000 Adira 1387723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have one Zoli cup for water at home. I want to start giving Xander milk with his dinner to get him used to the taste before we transition him fully to milk. Should I get a second Zoli cup for this (like a different color)? Or would it be fine to use the same cup for both water and milk? What did you do? </p>
