I can't convince him that milk in a straw cup isn't weird. He really hates the sippy cup, though, so we do most of the milk out of a regular cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-782454 Wed, 15 May 2013 09:34:40 +0000 sandy 782454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 3 Lollacups that are different colors. The red one always has water in it. I use the other two for milk (an extra when the other is in the dishwasher or someone comes over and forgot to bring a sippy cup) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-782294 Wed, 15 May 2013 08:39:24 +0000 winniebee 782294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: so sweet!</p> <p>@Honeybee: interesting! i tend to leave the zoli on the floor and he will grab it and drink when thirsty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-781134 Tue, 14 May 2013 15:20:05 +0000 Honeybee 781134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has his own water bottle that I let him carry around during the day. He only gets milk in sippies and only at meals and bedtime. I really just do this for convenience/clean up. I don't want sippies of milk all over my house (getting lost, spills, etc..) but I also want him to get used to getting himself a drink of water when he needs it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780585 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00:57 +0000 littlek 780585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, not to threadjack, but B was drinking from his sippy cup yesterday, all by himself, and it made me realize what a big boy he is. (tears flowed) Made me a little sad that my sweet baby was growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780584 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00:54 +0000 Weagle 780584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I think she's just seen that its helped with a lot of her patients. I don't think there's any medical or developmental reason to do so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780583 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00:03 +0000 autumnlove 780583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Zoli for both but milk seems to leak out more than water. We also use the Think Baby straw cup for milk from time to time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780582 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:59:33 +0000 littlek 780582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Interesting. I didn't know it was recommended. </p> <p>I guess I could use a zoli for water and regular sippy for milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780570 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:56:43 +0000 Weagle 780570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pediatrician told us to do separate cups, but I'm not going to. Seems like a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780418 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:09:07 +0000 Mrsbells 780418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have separate style cups. My daughter loved drinking water from the zoli but when she tried to get her milk in the zoli she would get very upset so I had to get a different cup for milk. This allows her to associate each cup with its contents </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780411 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:07:44 +0000 littlek 780411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've just started putting B's formula in a sippy cup. I use the same type of sippy cup that we use for water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separate-cup-for-water-and-milk#post-780397 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:05:51 +0000 winniebee 780397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use the same straw or sippy cup for milk and water? Why/why not? </p>
