For the last month I've been giving LO a tiny bit of water in a sippy cup. He has figured out the miracle 360 cup about a week ago but nearly every time he drinks from it he coughs from water going down the wrong pipe.
Is this normal? It cant be good for his lungs...? Do I just keep giving it to him or should I try a different cup?

I think this is normal, he’ll get the hang of it. They are completely different flows than a bottle or breastfeeding. I have an almost 8 month old and he sputters on water whenever he gets more than a drop. That’s great that he’s using the 360 cup, it’ll make the transition to a normal cup that much easier.

At that age E did that with 360 cups we kept at it and also worked on straw cups so she had options and daycare didnt freak out.

My daughter is the same age as yours and we are in the same boat. She's using the 360 cups on her own now, but coughs like that once a day usually. I wouldn't worry about it. They'll get the hang of it soon I'm sure!

Thank you! I am surprised he got the hang of this one so fast. I thought it would be the hardest of the cups I have.
We will keep at it!
