Sippy cups/beaker

[Toni.C]

So my LO is 5 months old and we started weaning about a month ago once a day.

I now want to introduce a Sippy cup of water during the day. He has been formula fed with Dr Brown bottles from the day he was born.

I brought him a little tommee tippee Sippy cup but he just chews on the spout

How can I encourage him to drink? He will happily take water out of his bottle.

Just keep offering the sippy cup, it took ds a while to figure out what it was.

Just keep offering it - no bottle or too much drink around 'meal' times. My son was on Dr Browns from 8 weeks and he didn't get on with those 4+ sippy cups as the spout was hard. I moved him onto a soft spout +6 month one and he got better

My LO never got on with sippy cups so I bought one with a soft straw type thing and she loved it!

Thank you ladies! We will keep practicing and see how we get on.

Mummybexee- I think we may need to invest in one with a soft spout or a straw for the same reason but we will see how we go.

Nuby do the ones with the straws I've seen them in home bargains for £3.99 or something like that. I know they were reasonably priced.

There's one IKEA sells that is suitable for 0+: the lid has a drinking tip with holes and it just dribbles a little once you tip it so the baby doesn't need to do much to get the water out, just like with a normal cup. But I agree with keep offering it, sometimes it takes a while for them to figure out a new drinking system.

Which tt beaker? My lb struggles with anything at first apart from the tt first beaker. They're free flow, easy to hold & you can push the spout down to stop it spilling in your bag

Although today we managed to crack it!

My TT cup is similar to that but it also came with a teat cost about £2.50
