I haven't let her drink out a "real" straw on purpose, but if I'm holding a drink with one she'll try to get her mouth on it. I have to be careful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-use-a-straw-first#post-886262 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:23:52 +0000 runsyellowlites 886262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She still just chews on it! We don't try very often though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-use-a-straw-first#post-886241 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:17:07 +0000 wheres_c 886241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still working on it at almost 7 months. Tried the playtex straw cup you can squeeze, as well as the take and toss.
