Re: How do I get my DS to drink from a sippy cup??? well lets see its been a long time since i had to use sippy cups!
my chunky monkey was 13 months (it was thanksgiving) and i got rid of all the bottles in the house except for one. my mom was babysitting for me while i worked, what i did that last time my son got a bottle was he was offered straight LEMON JUICE in a bottle, or milk in a cup (he would drink juice in acup but not milk) well that was the last time he had a bottle, he decided the milk was much better then the lemon juice
my daughter @ 5 months old (tehy are 3 weeks and 5 days shy of being exactly 2 years apart) wanted EVERYTHING her brother had--so she was drinking juice boxes at 5 months old, yes most of it went all over her, but she was happy with it, when she was 7 months old, her and her brother were going to a daycare, my daughter was the youngest one there, and all the other kids had cups, she wanted one too! so i had one that was 13 months off bottles, and one that was 7 months off bottles
as far as type of cups i use, i use the playtex ones with the stupid valves(a pita to clean without a dishwasher!!) the ones that had handles, the non spill proof ones, the ones liked the best were the lidded spillproof disposable ones (i think they are about $4 or $5 for a pack of 5?) |
