It took a few tries, but by 7 months, he was drinking from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252851 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 01:17:45 +0000 birdofafeather 1252851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: R got it around 9.5 months when I saw shopaholic's babe drinking hers on IG! I tried the zoli again and she took it right away! So weird!</p> <p>We gave her a sippy with water when we started solids around 6 months but she didn't get it for a while. We still had to hold it for her when I gave her the zoli again at 9.5 and she took it. Total game changer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252496 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 20:18:36 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1252496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we started with sippy and straw cup at around 6 months. she wanted nothing to do with the sippy because it was too close to the bottle, which she hated. the straw she didn't figure out until 8.5 months. now she'll drink through her straw cup or an open cup when we offer it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252493 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 20:17:56 +0000 Smurfette 1252493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why does everyone's LO get a straw cup but mine?!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252487 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 20:16:26 +0000 NurseMommy 1252487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 1/2 months, both straw and regular cup. She's now 6 1/2 months and just learned how to use the straw today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252331 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:25:08 +0000 Silva 1252331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started giving her sips from a regular cup when we started solids, at about 5.5 months. We hit some constipation issues at about 6.5 months, so we tried a sippy to increase water intake and a little prune juice. At 7 months we have a serious constipation issue, so we are giving her apple cider in a bottle!<br /> Hope to return to the sippy / regular cup soon. But, both create a big mess. She leaks everywhere with either option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252274 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:16:14 +0000 Revel 1252274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with the Zoli straw cup last week when we started solids. LO loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252237 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:34:28 +0000 Smurfette 1252237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 months when started solids. At 8.5 she still doesn't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252222 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:14:36 +0000 yin 1252222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started introducing sippy cups at 6 months, but my LO didn't take to them. We gave him the zolibot at 11 months, and he immediately got the hang of the straw cup. Wish we had introduced the straw sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252188 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:39:49 +0000 hilsy85 1252188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoli straw cup at 5.5 months. Open cup is still a challenge At 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252158 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:05:08 +0000 littlek 1252158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started around 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252143 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:43:30 +0000 winniebee 1252143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw cup and silicone topped sippy around 6 months but he didn't get hang of it til maybe 8 or 9 months? Really didn't get sippy cups (hard tops) until after a year. we always let him take sips from our open cups and he also got the hang of that around 14 months? </p> <p>Zoli is a great first straw cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252129 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:31:42 +0000 LittleFox 1252129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw cup and shot glass or sharing my water cup at 6 months. We alternate straw cups vs regular based on how much mess we're prepared for, where we are, and what it clean. My fave straw cup is one of the cheapo holiday ones from Target. I have a Halloween pumpkin for LO, and will probably get him a Christmas one after the holidays are over and they're clearanced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252122 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:25:59 +0000 Greentea 1252122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy 6 month birthday lo! Dd is 6 months on Tuesday. I ordered her a zoli. Still not sure... we might try a straight cup also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252115 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:22:18 +0000 emg86 1252115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw cup at 5.5m &amp; a regular cup (shot glass) size around 6.5m. She loves both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252042 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 12:17:48 +0000 googly-eyes 1252042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried at six months but we didn't get serious til a year...that's when she was ready. We used spout for about a week and then tried straw and it took. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252041 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 12:16:51 +0000 BananaPancakes 1252041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw cup at 6 months with solids. We just did water until he turned 12 months and then did water and milk. We started open cup around 11 months and he does well with those now, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1252015 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 11:44:35 +0000 autumnlove 1252015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straw cup at 6 months.

He really didn't drink much until now at 12m when he's only nursing 3x a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-a-cup#post-1251995 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 11:17:46 +0000 Boheme 1251995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS shows a lot of interest in drinking from a cup - he's 6 months today. When did you introduce one? And was it a sippy, straw, or straight to a regular cup, Montessori style? </p>
