After they figured it out, we quickly moved on to real leak-proof sippies (I was tired of them getting dropped off high chairs and leaving puddles). We never had any trouble with them preferring one sippy to another, but we started them young (about the age of your girls). Since I was nursing also, from solid food on we just never used a bottle anymore. Expressed milk, water, and water/juice mixed all went in a sippy and there was never any process to break them from a bottle when they turned one and could do milk. I still manage to get away with watering down juice for all our kids (2/3 water to 1/3 juice). They drink it like it's awesome, and since we do a lot of real fruit, I'm not concerned about them needing nutrition from juice. Someday they'll care... I'm just waiting for it. :o)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236293691009227368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368428695847869715.post-15225861548976890332010-03-20T11:58:29.877-04:002010-03-20T11:58:29.877-04:00I had a terrible time getting Maria to use a sippy...I had a terrible time getting Maria to use a sippy cup until I got Nuby brand cups with soft spouts. We both love them. They have a built in valve so you don't have to mess with washing it and removing it. The spouts are soft and when I watch Maria drink, it looks like she uses a similar sucking motion to breastfeeding. We started with sippies around 7 months, by giving it to her with each meal. Now, at 13 months though she still nurses she has a sippy available all day long.<br /><br />Here's the ones I use:<br />http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3876139&CAWELAID=450068977<br /><br />I got them at Target.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368428695847869715.post-35897296443852797042010-03-18T19:33:33.179-04:002010-03-18T19:33:33.179-04:00When transitioning to the sippy cup, we found it b...When transitioning to the sippy cup, we found it best to make sure one was available at every solid meal. <br />You should start with a soft teat spout! It took my daughter a while to get the hang of it. But now she can transition between any sort of sippy cup you give her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
