When to change from nipple to sippy cup.

Question

My son is going to be 8 months in a few days he has two teeth and he just won't stop chewing up the nipples on his bottles 😫
I'm buying a pack of nipples every week. He can feed himself so I usually strap him into his rocker lean it back a bit and give him his bottle and he drinks and bites up the nipple. What cups can you recommend me to start him on?

Answer

I started with a sippy cup that needed to be tipped back in the bath tub around that age. Just to prevent the mess.  My mom worked for Head Start for 20 years and said many kids didn't know how to tip a cup to drink even at the age of 3. They had only used sippy cups they needed to suck on. Just something to think about when looking for a sippy cup!

Answer

We use these and the munchkin 360 cups. I’ve always switched my kids from bottles to cups around 9 months

Answer

We went straight to this. My son never could figure out nipple sippy cups. He still uses these at age 2! They’re magical.

Answer

I completely skipped soppy cups as they aren’t great for development. I use straw cups & 360 cups. You can find straw cups with a hard straw that would probably work :)
