Do you use the same straw or sippy cup for milk and water? Why/why not?
-
I've just started putting B's formula in a sippy cup. I use the same type of sippy cup that we use for water.
-
we have separate style cups. My daughter loved drinking water from the zoli but when she tried to get her milk in the zoli she would get very upset so I had to get a different cup for milk. This allows her to associate each cup with its contents
-
The pediatrician told us to do separate cups, but I'm not going to. Seems like a pain.
-
@Weagle: Interesting. I didn't know it was recommended.
I guess I could use a zoli for water and regular sippy for milk.
-
We use the Zoli for both but milk seems to leak out more than water. We also use the Think Baby straw cup for milk from time to time.
-
@littlek: I think she's just seen that its helped with a lot of her patients. I don't think there's any medical or developmental reason to do so.

Ok, not to threadjack, but B was drinking from his sippy cup yesterday, all by himself, and it made me realize what a big boy he is. (tears flowed) Made me a little sad that my sweet baby was growing up.
-
DS has his own water bottle that I let him carry around during the day. He only gets milk in sippies and only at meals and bedtime. I really just do this for convenience/clean up. I don't want sippies of milk all over my house (getting lost, spills, etc..) but I also want him to get used to getting himself a drink of water when he needs it.
-
@littlek: so sweet!
@Honeybee: interesting! i tend to leave the zoli on the floor and he will grab it and drink when thirsty.

I have 3 Lollacups that are different colors. The red one always has water in it. I use the other two for milk (an extra when the other is in the dishwasher or someone comes over and forgot to bring a sippy cup)
-
Right now, we use straw cups for water and either a regular cup or sippy cup for milk. I can't convince him that milk in a straw cup isn't weird. He really hates the sippy cup, though, so we do most of the milk out of a regular cup.
