Any recommendations for what sippy cup to use when introducing it to a 11 month old?

[Kelly M]

I have been trying to get my son to use a sippy cup for a couple months now and he mostly plays with, chews, throws it, everything but drinks out of it. He will drink out of it sometimes if I am holding it up for him. Any thoughts on what brand works best for you?

My daughter is 11 months as well and does the same thing, There is one, i am not sure of the brand but the top part is all plastic like a bottle nipple and she gets the most out of it, so i think its the best for learning, the ones with the hard tops are too much sucking i think... We have few different kinds and I rotate them.

i have a cabinet full of diff ones my dd would not let touch her mouth; finally i saw my friend's baby with one i didn't have...lol; the nuby, probably the cheapest of all i had, but they work for now; they do have soft spouts, so teeth are a concern for me, but so far she hasn't chewed on any.....i just dipped the top in pop a few times to try to get her to suck and it worked, maybe it will work for you....gl

At 11 months my son was drinking from a straw cup. I love these http://www.playtexproductsinc.com/infant/CupsBabye.asp (the sip & discover™ spill-proof straw cup – 9oz) because the straw is spill proff and it's super easy to wash since the valve opens and doesn't get full of mold or mildew.

anything with a silicon tip. my daughter liked those. she also refused her sippy and just played with it. so i started putting diluted juice in the cup once a day since it was her favorite. she would do anything to get the juice out of the sippy, so she learned really quick how to use it properly. after she mastered that, i began putting her milk/formula in the sippy. she was completely off the bottle shortly after her first birthday.

also, when you are ready to switch to the hard tipped sippy, try the same method.

MUNCHKIN is an amazing brand because they have the non-spill cups. My daughter used to just toss it anywhere whenever she was done drinking from it and there was no mess to clean up! Just be careful, make sure u keep tabs on the nipples because my daughter used to bite them, and sometimes they would leak. Hope it helps!

I couldn't tell you brands, but what I can tell you is that none of the ones my first son used appealed at all to my younger son. If you can afford to buy a few, I would just pick out a few different ones that have different shapes, nipples, etc, and let him see what he likes. Some kids seem to like them all, others are pretty picky.

I think anything with handles will due. I really like the Avent Brand I have 4 of those and 2 of the Nuby w/ handles ones. And the Avent ones are the best.
