We use the cheapo Playtex ones too! $7 for a pack of 2, they work awesome, are easy to clean and they are cheap! Im so glad I tried them before springing for a Zoli. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557346 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:40:50 +0000 betsyboop 557346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Zoli and Lollacup. My LO really likes the Zoli but like @regberadaisy said, I'm not sure I would put anything other than water in it because it's kind of hard to clean. The Lollacup is much easier to clean but the straw is significantly bigger and the amount of liquid that comes through overwhelms my LO. I don't know what we're going to do when she has to drink milk from a sippy cup. If you find any better options, please share! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557231 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 17:03:02 +0000 Sammyfab 557231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just try straw cups or help him learn how to drink from a regular cup. I actually bought these cheapie plastic cups from the dollar store that have sippy lids. They're great because they have a spout but no valve so they're basically part sippy, part regular cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557205 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:35:07 +0000 prettylizy 557205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used the Zoli straw cup from the get go and she drinks water, almond milk and green smoothies from it with no problems. We've also recently started helping her drink from a normal cup, it's messy, but she is learning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557171 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:16:09 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 557171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Stroller: At this rate, we may have to do the same.</p> <p>The funny thing is, he -is- always interested in whatever we're drinking. He wants to drink out of our coffee cups, out of water glasses, out of our water bottles. My only problem is that every time I try to let him drink out of these, he's usually choking on the water I try to give him. He keeps gamely going back to whatever vessel it is I'm letting him drink from but he still keep choking. I know since he's sitting up, there isn't much of a chance of him drowning but that's currently my irrational pregnancy fear - that somehow, he'll get enough water to choke/drown on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557107 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:48:46 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 557107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to skip sippies all together and go to a straw cup. Cheapo Playtex click &amp; lock straw cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557080 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:41:22 +0000 Dandelion 557080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you can just skip to regular plastic cups? Try it out with water first, to see if he'll be ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-557064 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:38:32 +0000 regberadaisy 557064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with the Zoli although I wouldn't reco putting anything but water in it.<br /> How old is LO? We're currently using the Thinkster and liking it more but it's big (9oz) so better suited for older babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-556999 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:12:11 +0000 Lindsay05 556999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are struggling with sippy cups as well. We gave our LO the Avent cup with the soft nipple and she drinks no prob from it but I tried the Tommee Tippee cup with the hard nipple that she has to bite and suck and all she does is bite it. So we basically only have one cup and am ALWAYS washing that thing. I hope you find out what works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cups-are-driving-me-crazy#post-556991 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:08:12 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 556991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time I introduce a new sippy cup, DS seems to like it for the first few times and then completely loses interest. We've tried Nuk soft spout sippy cup, then switched to a Dr. Brown's soft spout sippy cup (pictured below). From there, we went to the Dr. Brown's hard spout, which worked the longest. Then, after some suggestions from here on HB, we tried the Tommee Tippee soft straw sippy cup and the Tommee Tippee spill proof cup (pictured below).</p> <p>Out of all of them, the best luck we've had has been with the Dr. Brown's hard spout sippy cup and the Tommee Tippee soft straw sippy cup. </p> <p>DS was okayed for milk Wednesday and I've been trying to get him to take his regular formula in a sippy cup but he won't take it, no matter where I put it. He's totally balking and wants the bottle. If he won't take formula in a sippy cup, how can I convince him to take regular milk in a sippy cup? </p> <p>Any suggestions on transitioning? Any other brand suggestions? He needs to learn to use a sippy cup and I want to transition him to milk!</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mhx40t.600x600.Dr-Browns-Soft-Spout-Training-Cup-6-oz-072239009307.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mhx41b.368x442.547006_Blue_Orange.png] </p> [attach=3089/13/mhx41v.350x330.7016723_ProductDescription.jpg]
