DD is the same. I tried her with a sippy cup at 7 months or so, but she wasn't interested. Now she'll slurp away from a plastic cup, and is experimenting with handling it herself - a lot goes down her front, of course! I might try her again on a sippy cup, just so she can drag something around the house with her, but I won;t be too worried if she doesn't like it. ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:25:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781303&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781303 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781209&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781209 Author: pudgy

I'd just give her a normal cup, plastic if you like. They get the hang of really quickly ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:09:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781209&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781209 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781201&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781201 Author: Bky

You might try a Doidy cup. I have one for DD and it's pretty good. It's a nice transition between sippy cup and regular cup. I think you can get them on TradeMe for about $15? I think you can also get them from the distributor website www.2cute.co.nz and maybe breastmates too?]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:47:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781201&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781201 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781102&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781102 Author: BikeBaby

Was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips ... DD is nearly 7 months and is struggling with the sippy cup. I have tried two now and she just chews on the spout but doesn't drink the water, however she is more than willing to drink out of a glass (I've only let her do this twice as I worry about her drinking from a glass rather than plastic) and will reach for and drink if allowed whenever we are drinking.
How long does it take for them to get the hang of a sippy cup?
Does she need to drink out of a sippy cup or can she go straight to a cup?
I can't see how a straw cup will help if it's that she's not sucking, except she doesn't have to lift it too.
In the heat of the summer I would like to know she is getting water when I give it to her (after her solids)
Any hints or tips greatly appreciated!]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:40:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41580&PID=5781102&title=sippy-cup-or-regular-cup#5781102
