Shot glass was only during meals so I didn't spend the entire time wiping up water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2227780 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 13:17:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2227780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: What did you end up doing? </p> <p>I have a sippy cup but I realize it's probably harder to use than a straw! If I put too lil water in, then she doesn't know how to hold it and tip it. If I put more water in, then it's heavy. DD is 7 mo and I'm probably gonna just go to straw now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211608 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:00:24 +0000 sorrycharlie 2211608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looks like zoli is a winner! 6 months isn't too young? she lunged for, got and sucked on my contigo cup the other day, ha! so maybe not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211598 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:55:10 +0000 Charm54 2211598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoli...it was the easiest for her to suck the water out of </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211595 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:52:12 +0000 Mae 2211595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>zoli cup at 6mo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211558 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:10:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2211558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used sippy cups for about a minute, but we both got frustrated with them quickly and moved on to straw cups. We used the same squeezy Playtex straw cup that @kodybear: mentioned, perfect for teaching her that liquid comes out of the straw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211549 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:45:34 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2211549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Nuby straw cups- she never liked sippy cups. Even now, we still use Playtex straw cups- they're great (and don't leak). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211276 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 13:46:51 +0000 sleepybear 2211276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take and toss straw cups at 6 months.

My LO was easily frustrated by the other straw cups because they seemed more difficult to get liquid through it, and the Zoli is super easy for babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-first-cup#post-2211186 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 12:31:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2211186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoli.

Did anyone start with a straw cup? How old was your LO?</p> <p>My oldest used the playtex sippy and the tommee tippee ones. I need to buy new ones for DD2, who will start solids in a couple weeks! </p>
