How do I get my son more interested in a sippy cup or any cup in general while he's eating? His doctor told me today he…

I would say if he's not taking a cup my now. Just take all his bottles away. It will be pure hell at first but he will drink the cup eventually. Once new yrs hits my son will no longer have his bottles. Im weaning him slowly... He's teething been having ear infection cold and all that since end of Oct so I'm not pushing it to much right now cuz I now He's not feeling well an crabby enough but he's feeling better.

My daughter just started the avent transition sippy cup. She took milk from it the first time over the weekend. However, will she hold it... of course not. Only as a toy🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@missjess, 😊😊😊

@lexirosex3, maybe I'll stop there tomorrow if I can get out that way :)

@missjess, no problem! I bought it at rite aide lol

@lexirosex3, thank you I will look for it and try and see 😬

I use this one for my daughter and took her about 2 days to get use to it she was good she loves it! It’s soft.

My daughter used soft tip Dr brown sippys starting at six months but she never drank very much. After she was a year she figured out how to use a straw and we switched to take and toss sippy cups with covers and straws. Now if traveling we still use Dr. Brown's but at home always the take and toss

@snow_bunny_diva95, I'll try to encourage more and have my mom do the same when she's babysitting. I'll buy a couple more too

I would try the soft tip sippy cup. That's what i did w my son.

@snow_bunny_diva95, I have an avent sippy cup that has the regular nipple and the soft spout nipple maybe I'll try to encourage that one more. I have the dr Browns one too but that one is harder

@badadvicemom, I know it. It's just bad for his teeth and I feel like he's falling behind on where he should be for his age :/ he's just really stubborn and takes his own time but with things his doctor was telling me just made me feel like he should be more advanced and maybe I'm not doing enough :/

I totally understand. The one thing to keep in mind is no one goes to college with a bottle. He'll eventually grow out of it. Just keep pushing.

@badadvicemom, I thought that's what you meant. His doctor basically said the same thing. That he'll have to eventually take to it if I don't give him anything else. I have a 360 cup but he doesn't like it. It doesn't help that I work nights so my mom works with him on it and then he goes with his father so idk what he does with him. So it's hard to make the transition. I know my mom really try's though cause she gets on me about it lol but his dad I can only relay things to him then it's in gods hands.

@missjess interesting because i see our son's are the same age.... Is he teething. Maybe he prefers the bottles because of the soft nipple.

@snow_bunny_diva95, he never is interested in a cup. Even if I show him I'm

Drinking it he still pushes it away or turns his head sometimes I try to force it to let him know it's something he likes inside but it still doesn't work. It's kind of like women trying to figure out what bottle to use cause baby refuses every bottle... He wasn't like that though for bottles! He took whatever I have him.

@missjess "rip it off like a bandaid". Take it away and eventually they'll take something else. You could even try a normal cup with lots of help and transition to the 360 cup.

My son will drink a sippy cup during the day but wont at night or at nap time. I got him interested in a sippy cup when he started wanting to drink from my cup so i pretend to drink from a sippy cup and he would want it.

@badadvicemom, what's that?

We had to do the bandaid. She would've taken the bottle forever.
