I'm always amazed at how much I forget. So, my older son was a huge pain in the butt about sippy cups, straw cups, and everything in between. I bought every kind under the sun. At some point he was ok with some kind, and it is all water under the bridge. My youngest son, also 9 months old, has been doing ok with sippy cups without the piece that makes it so you have to suck really hard (i don't know what it is called, but it is that extra piece that goes in the top that I assume is to stop spills). I don't know what I'll do, but I feel ya!

My son was like this. At 12 months I finally just put away all of the bottles and started offering sippy cups only. It took a few days of tantrums, cup throwing, and not drinking very much, but by day 4 or 5 he was using sippy cups no problem. We've had the best luck with the Munchkin brand - he likes them and we don't get any leaks.

My son despised sippy cups for some reason early on. He would hardly drink anything rather than take one, but he liked open cups from the start. I got him a little doll-set cup that was small enough for him to handle till he was old enough for a regular cup. My MIL got him a cute cup with a big straw when he was around 15 months (no clue what brand, it was from a dollar store). He couldn't really work out what the straw is for at first, but once he got into a copycat phase he worked it out pretty fast So we just use the straw cup if we're on the go, and don't bother with sippy cups at home.

LO would only drink from open cups no matter how many different types of sippy/straw cups I tried. My mom picked up these Tupperware sippy cups. She said they were the only cups we kids would drink out. Turns out they are the only sippy cups LO will drink out of too.

@Tanjowen: I bought E a regular little cup to use. Not always the cleanest, but he got good at it quick. Later on, he used a NUK sippy, because they are fairly easy to drink out of. I think E's problem was going from fast-flow nipples (not mine, heh) to a "no-spill" sippy that you had to suck in your cheeks to get a drop of water. Once he got stronger and bigger, he now uses our entire graveyard of previously failed sippy cups with ease.
