My handout from the pediatrician at LO's 4 month check up had "introducing sippy cup" as something to look ahead to...so we will be talking about it at her 6 month check up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-125089 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:22:25 +0000 regberadaisy 125089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At how many months do you typically introduce sippy/straw cups? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-125086 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:22:00 +0000 Andrea 125086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: yes, it is actually really easy to drink out of! and i started to get jealous of DD's so i did get one for myself. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-125077 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:14:48 +0000 SAHM0811 125077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: So at first I thought it looked great, but for my 4 yo... not my 9 month old. But then I read a review that a 9 month old took to it well! So I'll check it out! I might even get an adult one since I've been looking for the perfect water bottle for myself too! Haha. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-125076 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:14:40 +0000 chopsuey 125076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a bunch. I LOVE THE ZOLI straw sippy! LO loves it too! It's the only one she drinks from! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-125030 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:05:45 +0000 Andrea 125030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: i know, it is such a waste of money! i am sure a lot of moms have a mini collection. i'm glad that DD is to the point where she can just drink out of a regular open cup or a bottle of water. it is so much easier! OH! have you tried a camelbak bottle?? i don't use it for milk but DD likes to drink water out of it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Camelbak-Bottle-Litre-Berry-Fairies/dp/B0043811WG/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1334606676&#038;sr=8-1-fkmr2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Camelbak-Bottle-Litre-Berry-Fairies/dp/B0043811WG/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1334606676&#038;sr=8-1-fkmr2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-125018 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:01:50 +0000 SAHM0811 125018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: okay thanks! I'll give it a shot I think! We've bought so many sippies and straw cups... I'm hesitant because the lollacup is sorta pricey, but good to hear the leaking isn't too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124995 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:56:03 +0000 mrstilly 124995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had the best luck with the playtex twist and click soft spout with handles. I took the valve out at first for DS to figure out there was liquid in it, then once he got the hang of it, I put it back in and he drinks well from it and it doesn't leak.<br /> Herbert and Nuk make cups with a similar valve setup and DS has used those as well. </p> <p>DS doesn't get the concept of a straw yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124979 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:51:07 +0000 Andrea 124979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: i wouldn't say a lot but i don't throw it in my bag or anything. but if the LO doesn't put it back on the table upright, then some milk will leak out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124966 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:47:57 +0000 SAHM0811 124966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: @Andrea: does the lollacup spill a lot? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124890 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:24:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 124890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: no she has pretty poor hand coordination. i think i will try this week though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124863 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:13:58 +0000 Andrea 124863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, sippy cups do suck! i found that the simplest ones worked the best. like the tilty cup or the take and toss ones. for a straw cup, we have the lollacup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124829 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:00:27 +0000 sandy 124829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: hahaha...i love puns! I can't wait for your post...I tried reading some reviews on amazon and just got overwhelmed. Have you introduced Olive to a sippy/straw cup yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124816 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:57:37 +0000 heffalump 124816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO doesn't understand how to suck from a straw. I got her one that is supposed to help transition from a bottle though, so I don't have any good advice for you. Can't wait for @Mrs. Bee's post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124789 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Bee 124789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they all suck haha. i actually have a post coming up this week on all the sippy cups i've purchased (seriously like 20!).</p> <p>sippy cups are really hard for young babies, and i found straw cups to be a lot easier for them. try the lollacup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations#post-124782 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:45:09 +0000 sandy 124782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5 months and I'm starting to prepare for the process of introducing her to a sippy cup. She is EBF for now and I don't really give her a bottle...she'll take it without a problem, but only drinks a few ounces and then pushes it out with her tongue. Anyway, just wondering what sippy cup I should buy </p>
