Suggestions on transition to sippy cup
We are thinking of trying the sippy cup, for numerous reasons. Any suggestions on what to do? He put it right in his mouth, but didn't s^ck. WOuld he just start s^cking when he gets used to it?  TIA!

Re: Suggestions on transition to sippy cup
In my experience it's been trial and error. I would just put the sippy on the highchair tray during mealtimes and a lot of times they would throw it off or try to suck on it. I ended up buying a few different brands until one "took." I don't know if there's anything we can really do about it except just allowing plenty of opportunity for practice.

Re: Suggestions on transition to sippy cup
My DS never liked the sippy cup, and we kept trying different ones. Finally, one day he saw my DH drinking from a straw, and that was it! DS grabbed the cup and straw and started drinking.
DS still doesn't like the baby cups with the straws, he likes regular cups with regular straws.
