I started with one of those throw away sippy cups – they allow the liquid to come out in small amounts. This way they start to realize whaht is in it. My son learned after a few tries. Then came the real sippy cup. It took a little longer, but he’s getting the hang of it. He still hasn’t figured out how to bring it to his lips and to drink from it by himself, we still have to hold it – but he’s getting better!

This is a terrible how-to. Sippy cups don’t just pour liquid. The baby has to suck on the spout to get anything out and have tried multiple brands and styles. How do you get them to suck on it?? Our 9 month old boy will take sips from an open cup with help but no luck with sippy cups yet. Thanks.
