Hello!

Hi, I’d love some tips on how to teach my 11 month old to use a sippy cup
with an inbuilt straw. Thank you.

  • I’m trying to teach my 10 month old but he keeps drinking too much water and it ends up all over him!
    I’m hoping he will learn on his own.


  • keep offering, show him how it’s done. Leave it around so he always sees it. Get overly excited when he does attempt it.


  • Keep at it persistence is key, try showing him. 🙂


  • It will come naturally!!


  • how did you go? 🙂


  • Mine got it after a couple of tries – how did you go?


  • i hope you’ve had success


  • Mine just took to it straight away as it is a natural instinct for them to suck


  • Hope you found the answer you were looking for.


  • hope you found what your looking for


  • How did you end up doing it? If you have already done it now?


  • How are they going with it now?


  • It’s just practice, they will get the hang of it eventually


  • Hope shes got the hang of it by now 🙂 I found my kids preferred soft spouted sippy cups instead of the ones with the straw


  • Have u had any progress?


  • They learn from accidents. Just let them practice


  • I would suggest showing them how it is done. Get a clear straw, and show them the juice (water, milk, whatever is in the cup) comes up through the straw when you suck.


  • Just keep giving it to her and persist


  • Did your 11 month old get the hang of using a inbuilt straw yet?
