Isaac is taking 3 cups with 6 oz of formula in each one. His using cups with straws mostly but his favorite is this one made by gerber

That is so great Sarah! How did you teach him to use a straw cup? I’d
love to teach Marisa but she just thinks you chew on the straw…

Same here Karen! We have that one in fact but she won’t touch it.

I just kept sitting it in front of him at each solid meal (even if he refused to eat the solids) and eventually he just picked up on what he was supposed to do with it. Don’t get discouraged (though i did b/c he would hold a bottle ever) they will eventually want to become independant from you according to my ped!

It’s not even that she doesn’t want to be independent – she really just
doesn’t understand what to do with the straw – did you show Isaac or he
just figured it out?

Karen-she will just figure it out on her own but the more she has it with her the more practice she will get. I just kept holding it up to his mouth and one day he just understood though i will say when he is teething he does chew on it alot!

Thanks Sarah. So keep holding it up to her mouth but if she pushes it away or something offer the sippy instead?

I alternated between the 2 (like each meal i gave one or the other) and he just had a preference for the straw cup. Good luck!
