I need ADVICE mamas! Now that he's 1, how in the world do I ween my babe off of the bottle and onto a sippy cup or straw cup? I've bought like 6 now and I need some tips from some moms who've been there done that
I get one of those soft tip sippy cups and poke a bigger hole in the top for my LO so that he still gets the milk like he does with the bottle, and doesn't have to try so hard to get it. It's also training his tongue and mouth to form around the top and he gets used to the sippy. By the time he turns one I'm hoping it'll be a lot easier to get him to use just a regular sippy cup. If using a straw cup, try slowly squeezing the liquid into his mouth for him so that he gets the jist of where the liquid comes from. Just a little tip!
Straws were hard for my son, sippy's were easier for him. He still doesn't like straws and he's 2 lol. Just give him some time! Keep introducing it to him and don't give in to a bottle. He will learn to like them if he realizes that's the only option of getting something to drink.
Stick with the same brand of bottle that he has to sippy cups. My son used Dr. Brown bottles so I switched him to Dr. Brown sippy's w the soft spout and he liked them.
