Sippy cups?

iluvgummies · #1 June 27th, 2011, 07:03 AM

Not sure if this has been recently posted or not (I've been mia for a LONG time), but is your LO using a sippy cup yet? I'd really like Ella to be done with a bottle by a year, but she has absolutely no interest in drinking form a sippy cup. I'll put it in her mouth & she'll take one drink from it. Then she pushes it away. She'll play w/ it & bite on it...but either doesn't know how or doesn't want to drink from it. DS was a sippy cup pro by 10 months & so giving up the bottle was very easy with him.

Emily is on all zippy cups except she has a bottle before bed, just because I don't want her to be grown up already. It was slot easier than I thought. At first she threw them and wouldn't drink, but she's gotten used to it.

Kaileigh is on all sippy cups too besides a random bottle that dh will make but she usually throws it down because she doesnt like them anymore.

Maggie's using sippy cups, but I haven't been able to break her of the bottle before naps and bed time yet.

Ty and TJ are both using handled sippy cups for all but their night bottle. They get 8ozs and the cups they have don't hold that much otherwise they would be drinking that out of a sippy too. I'm so ready to get rid of all bottles. I finally put the drying rack up a few weeks ago and that was sooo nice.

Now I'm ready to run out of formula and move to milk.

Eli only has a sippy cup when he eats and seems to like it, but I totally have to help him. He does the best out of a straw.

Mine drinks from a sippy (mostly water) but still gets formula 5x/day from a bottle... I was moving her to whole milk but have been rushing around so much that I haven't been able to feed her properly so have resorted back to the bottles. I want to settle into the new house and I'm thinking of just stopping the formula/bottles cold turkey one day and see what happens.

The only sippy she drinks well from is a rubbermaid juicebox.

Jr can do sippy cups, but for some reason thinks it's really funny to drink and then let it all run out his mouth. ugh. He is still getting bottles before nap time, and bedtime. We were almost off of the bedtime bottles...he was just taking a little water in his bottle, but it wasn't as appealing, so he'd just go on to sleep. He seems to have totally regressed since we moved into the new house. He will scream and scream until you give him a milk bottle. Guess we're going to have to start back at square one on the whole thing.
