How did you get your lo to drink from a straw?

Question

How did you do it? And did it take a long time to learn?

Answer

We started with when we would go out to dinner I would put my finger over the top of the straw to hold the water in and after a few times of that he started actually sucking the water out instead of letting it just run out of the straw so I would do that and then while he was doing that I would put the other end of the straw back into the cup and  he would get the water up and after a few min of realizing what he  as doing he caught on really quick. He's 10 months.

Answer

Probably sometime around 7 months or so...he prefers the straw but it's actually kind of prevented him from learning how to hold his own cup and tilt it back. Idk if anyone else's 11 month is doing that or not, but I can't get him to drink from a sippy cup unassisted. It didn't take him long to learn how to use the straw though. Once he realized it came up he loved it.

Answer

Mine has been for a few months now, She has been on the purée pouches since she was 4mo old so I think that helped.

Answer

Gave her this Munchkin straw cup... she bit it first, then sucked on it! She was a bit surprised to get water the first time, but she asks for it now, and can also drink from a regular cup (while we hold it for her).

Answer

I just put the straw in her mouth and she knew lol. Didn't have to do anything.

Answer

My son would choke drinking from a sippy with a spout so we started out with the straw. He loves it! He just started drinking from a 360 cup though and he is doing great with it now too.

Answer

Answer

Use any kind of squeezable cup. At first put the straw in his mouth then squeeze the water out through the straw to let him know there's water. And then just let him try to suck it out without squeezing it. I watch the YouTube video on this and it works the first day he try it at 8month
