Liv had a MUCH easier time with the straw cups than a sippy cup (much cleaner too,) We loved the ZoLi, but if I were you, Id go with the bigger size. The regular one is just too small. Its easy to get liquid out of the ZoLi (similar to the LollaCup from what Ive heard) and now that liv has the hang of it, we use anything with a straw.</p> <p>Also, I didnt take any classes or anything either. Youre fine, I promise =o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519323 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:45:26 +0000 autumnlove 519323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Yes, I am pretty happy with the Zoli cup!</p> <p><a href="http://www.zolibaby.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.zolibaby.com/</a></p> <p>I bought ours on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519314 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:38:31 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 519314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Zoli is not a brand I'm familiar with. But you'd say you're pretty happy with them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519313 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:38:08 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 519313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Maybe that's what's up with Henry - maybe being able to see the water is distracting him. I know he loves to play with my big clear water bottle, dragging it from room to room to shake and watch the water. Good thought, thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519268 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:17:49 +0000 autumnlove 519268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I use the Zoli! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519256 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:09:31 +0000 rachiecakes 519256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: this worked especially well for us because DS loves to look at the liquid in the cup and that's how his would spill all of the other sippys. this one you can't see the liquid in it so there's no distraction! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519253 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:07:07 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 519253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Thanks! And I love the design. Since he's always grabbing for our cups if they have a straw, maybe this will help make the transition easier. I tried one of those spoutless cups with him recently? He kept trying to drink from the top and the water would gush down his front and onto the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519245 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:02:29 +0000 rachiecakes 519245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: this is the cup that we use: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12546526&#038;CAWELAID=1181815054&#038;pla=plab&#038;cagpspn=pla" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12546526&#038;CAWELAID=1181815054&#038;pla=plab&#038;cagpspn=pla</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519238 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:58:20 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 519238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: @autumnlove: What kind of straw cups did you get your LOs? What brand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519073 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:36:30 +0000 autumnlove 519073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started giving my LO water in a straw cup at 6 months and she loved it. She refused to drink milk out of a straw cup or sippy cup until 11.5 months....I had to stay strong and not offer the bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519069 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:34:05 +0000 rachiecakes 519069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was the same way with DS. I tried him on the sippy around 6 months but he kept dumping it over and over and I got sick of cleaning our rugs and frustrated so I never pushed it on him. At a year I couldn't get him to drink out of anything but a bottle. I kept buy/trying sippys but no go. Finally I tried a straw cup and he LOVED it. I give him water and juice in it. Sometimes milk but he doesn't like drinking milk out of it right now, so we still give him milk in the morning/evening with a bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-disaster#post-519059 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:27:40 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 519059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I admit it. I was the one who was slow on the ball. Having never had a kid, gone to any parenting classes, read any books on the subject (I can hear you all gasp in shock), I didn't know when it was a good time to start foods for my LO or start introducing sippy cups.</p> <p>I think I waited too long on the later. First, we tried a Nuk soft spout. With nothing in it, he's fine. Happily started sucking on it. But when we introduced water? Nu uh, wouldn't touch it. So my mom got a Dr. Brown's soft spout cup. This went a little better as time went by but still, not much on the drinking out of it and not a huge fan of water. A few months back, since Henry has eight teeth at nearly a year old, I bought the Dr. Brown's hard spout. We're liking it a little better.</p> <p>So each go around we're getting better. But he's nearly a year old. I can't get him to drink consistently from a sippy cup, and I'm worried about his 12 month appointment when they'll tell me it's time to start weaning him off formula and onto whole milk</p> <p>I feel like I've failed him and I'm at a loss at what to do! </p>
