We have at least one of each brand in our cabinet. And don't worry about wasting money on a sippee that they won't end up using because by Luke's age, they could care less what type of container it's in as long as it's wet!<br /><br />We've had a lot of success with the Nuby cup. Both of mine transitioned to them first. Here's a link to the one they liked -- http://www.amazon.com/Nuby-Spill-Colors-Vary-Ounce/dp/B0019LLC9W <br /><br />More on transitioning her to the sippee -- I've found it important to follow their cues. Which ever cup they particularly like, use it. If she seems more likely to drink in the car, always give her a cup of milk in the car. I agree with Tara on that one. Both of mine drank their first entire cup of milk in the car, strapped in. Maybe you could take her to the park hungry, then give her the milk cup on the way home. Just a thought.<br /><br />Also, too, I think it's important to not give in when the going gets tough. Day 3 of whatever transition we're in is usually the hardest for us. I try to remind myself that it's temporary and the end justifies the means, so that might mean somebody has to cry for a little while.<br /><br />I'm also a big fan of "cold turkey" cut-off. I psych myself up for it then just do it, in this case it would be complete weaning of the bottle. Again, in a few days they realize it's completely gone and use what's available, the sippee cup and you're so proud of them when they do!<br /><br />Best of luck!!! You can do it!!!Lindsey Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032364629255977011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490967921441966221.post-7954723441350285902010-05-14T09:04:19.144-04:002010-05-14T09:04:19.144-04:00Don't worry about the breast feeding woes........Don't worry about the breast feeding woes.....whatever is natural and best for you....it wasn't for me either...I preferred pulling out the bottle in public rather than the alternative...as you can see, my kids have faired almost well...no strippers yet...give it time. Anyways,, Reesie will get the idea, just keep offering sippy and she'll catch on...don't sweat it...it will come...Love you all!!!Judithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490967921441966221.post-65495368313205795662010-05-14T07:08:37.085-04:002010-05-14T07:08:37.085-04:00Ok, so this was one of the biggest stuggles so far...Ok, so this was one of the biggest stuggles so far for us. Ramsey is SO stubborn. We ended up having to cold turkey and he did not drink ANYTHING for 4 day. It was heartbreaking and I ended up at the doctors and she said he'll do it and all be darn she was right. When he realized it was sippee cup or nothing and I wasn't giving in he picked it up and chugged away. He now loves milk. Also, giving the sippee cup in the car where they are forced to focus since they are strapped in helped some too. Please let me know if I can help in anyway as this mom knows it can be aweful hard. Were going to start potty training soon...I migh thave to check in to the crazy house?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300854530012091370noreply@blogger.com
