Which sippy cup to use
« on: April 03, 2009, 21:42:53 pm »
Ive been trying my 9 month old lo on a sippy cup for the past month or so with no luck. Ive been trying the Tommee Tippee first cup with free flow spout so she doesnt have to work hard and it has handles on the side. However she just sits in her highchair with it throwing it around like a toy. She just sits playing happily with it but wont take a drink and then screams when I take it away.Ive also tried feeding her with it in my arms like I do with a bottle but she will not drink out of it. Does anyone know which cups are best to use?

Just a couple of ideas.  Hope something in here helps....

We use Tommee Tippee too.   Started out with just 30mls of cooled boiled water (so that DS could lift the cup).  I gave it to him when he was sitting in his highchair -- that worked better than in my lap. 

What colour do you have?   Not as crazy a question as it may sound.  DS has four in different colours and definitely likes the blue one best ??? ::).

Also, have you tried different fluids?  DS wouldn't take formula or fruit juice at first.  Just water.  So maybe if you tried a new taste (??)

DS always like the "straw" cups better too.  Have not tried yet with DD!
