I was just reading the handout about transitioning to a sippy cup in the FAQ board. We offer LO a little bit of water for now in a sippy with supper, but she's not a fan (to be expected). I think it's less of what she's drinking or what she's drinking it out of than the cup we're using though, so I'm looking for brand suggestions.
First, we gave her one with the silicone nipple/straw-type things and she LOVED it. But, as a nursing Mom, I'm not sure I want her learning to "bite" to get her drink. No, thank you--we get enough of that as it is with her teething and just gnawing when she's not really hungry or too tired!! Yowsers!
We also tried one of the harder plastic cups, but with the valve she couldn't suck hard enough to get anything and that made her mad (naturally). With the valve removed, she dumped all the water out all over herself and THAT upset her, too. (P.S. She's quite the fickle pickle, mind you.)
I'm sure it's just a "practice-makes-perfect" thing here, but I was just curious if any of you have stumbled on a training/sippy cup (appropriate for a 7MO) that you like that's nursing mom friendly?
