I gave let him use spouted sippy cups and he handles those fine too as well as the regular sport bottle tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304365 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 04:23:52 +0000 brownie 304365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tommee Tippee Sippy cups are soft spout all the past 12 months. My 17 month old still uses the soft spouts so it may not be necessary tO transition. He also uses the camelbak and it is a soft spout and bite. He personally hasn't shown any issues with any cup style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304345 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 02:29:26 +0000 banana 304345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @boogiebea. We went from bottle to straw cups. Much easier transition since we never had to wean him off of sippy cups. I would try a straw cup and see how they do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304289 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:57:44 +0000 Mrs. Train 304289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just keep trying. They will get it eventually. My twins took to sippy cups fairly easy but my daughter is not a fan. She likes straws and took to them pretty easily. Just keep trying different tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304287 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:57:05 +0000 tequiero21 304287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Twintwinmamamama: i definitely think practice makes perfect! when my nephew first used a cup with the straw, he couldn't do it, but after practicing a few times, he had it down the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304280 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:47:30 +0000 BoogieBea 304280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first actually took to straw cups over sippy cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304277 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:44:09 +0000 Twintwinmamamama 304277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and my twins just turned 1. They never really liked drinking out of bottles and are still breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304276 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:43:20 +0000 Twintwinmamamama 304276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at 8 months or so and just had the sippy cup there just to get them used to it being there. They drink out of the soft spouts just fine but that's because they bite them and sort of suck at the same time and then the water comes out. But they still have trouble with the hard spout ones. Maybe they just need more practice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304274 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:39:30 +0000 tequiero21 304274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no tips whatsoever since my twins haven't started yet. but i'd like to know how old your twins are and what age you started the soft sippies. we're starting solids at the end of the month and wondering if i should start introducing cups too........ hmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-transition#post-304272 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:36:17 +0000 Twintwinmamamama 304272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tips on transitioning to sippy cups? We are using the training soft spout sippies, but they don't quite have the hang of sucking on the harder spout (regular) sippy cups yet. They just sort of bite them and then toss them on the floor... </p>
