When is a good time to introduce sippy cups?

Question

When should you start and when should the child be persistently drinking out of them? 
Also what did you start with yours? (Milk, water, juice)

Answer

Introduce at 6 months. It can take a while for a baby to learn to use it so don’t wait too long. 
We started doing sips of water at 6 months when we started solids. It prevents constipation and also teaches baby to use a sippy.

Answer

I tried to at 6 months. The next 5 months we tried like 15 different sippy cups. Finally I said fuck it at 11 months. I put her formula in a sippy cup, handed it to her and said "figure it out." It took her about 10 minutes and quite of bit of fit throwing on her part. She finally figured it out and hasn't touched a bottle since.

Answer

We did water at about 6months olds (when we introduced solids) and we started with the ones that have bottle nipples and handles!

Answer

Here’s my understanding of the current recommendations: 
You can introduce sips of water with meals starting at six months. Six months is also a good time to start introducing sippy cups. Although straw cups are supposedly better for their oral development. You might want to check out munchkin weighted straw cup. I also hear a lot of good things about the 360 cup. 
No cows milk until one year. At which time it’s supposed to be whole milk (until age two I believe). 
No juice until one year (there’s really not a whole lot of benefits from drinking juice - no matter what age, so this should be used in moderation).

Answer

We started at 6 months and she was fully using a sippy cup by 8 months. But also nursed until 15 months old. We put water and breast milk in the sippy cup.

Answer

6 months with water in the cup. At about 11 months I put milk in it to get him off the bottle.

Answer

I introduced soft straw cups at 7 months old with every drink. Each child is going to take a diffrent amount of time to get used to so cant really say when they should get the hang of it. My son got the hang of it right away and was completely bottle weaned before he turned 1 year old.
