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.

We went straight to an open cup and used the Doidy cup

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

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

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

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.

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