How to teach a kid to use a sippy?

How on earth do I teach my daughter to use a sippy cup

I started with an open cup and/or a straw cup when my son was 6 months. He never used a sippy cup. Based on my experience, I’d suggest skipping the sippy cup all together.

My daughter is almost 18 months and has been using a straw sippy cup since 10 months, I would wait until she wanted a bottle and then put her formula in it! At first she was confused but she got the hang of it quickly!

Go with the straws! They already have the sucking down it’s just slightly different positioning of the mouth/lips vs a full on sippy or regular cup. Plus the straw gets the liquids pass the gums and teeth making them that much healthier as not as much touches them!

I didn’t bother. We went straight to a regular cup at six months. At first they needed help but could manage it no problem by about 9-12 months. You just put a little bit of water in the bottom. They soon learn not to get wet!
