Introducing sippee cup

3 replies

mincymoo124 · 03/06/2018 11:30

My nearly 8 month old won't drink any water from sippee cup iv tried it a few times and she just bites it. Any tips to get her to drink from it? Iv tried the nuby one with the straw and just recently iv tried the tommee yippee one which you have to tilt back.
Thanks

I'm at same stage. Tommee tipper one isn't really working for us. He will drink from it if I hold it for him but can't seem to get the hang of it.
I'm putting him in his baby seat thing outside in the decking and letting him play with it : throw it around... last time he got soaked but seemed pretty happy about it 😂
I guess they will learn eventually!

They do get the hang of it eventually, the baby I look after was like this at 8 months, she didn't seem to drink much at all and just played with it, she's 11 months now and can drink loads out of it (still likes to play with it though!) Just persevere!

Have you tried the 360 miracle cup? DS has had that since 6 months and now crawls over to it and helps himself. He is 10 months and has only figured out the sippy cup this week (freeflow) He can't seem to use the no spill sippy cup but I tried it and you have to suck quite hard! He was bf so maybe would be easier for ff if they were used to the motion?
