My daughter was good at sippy cups with the straw by 9 months - I put the bottles away. When her brother came along a few months later she decided some things were for the baby only and bottles were one of them.

That's what we used, too, but it's been so long I don't remember how old they were. I remember they were pretty young (6 mos. maybe?) because those were easier because she didn't have to lift them up. Rubbermaid makes little round ones that are super easy for the little ones. I'm sure by now some other folks make them, too.

The only one of my mutts that used a sippy cup was my girl and it was only about a week....her and her brothers figured out that if you put soda in them and shake them they squirt rather good

And you would put soda in a childs sippy WHY?????

I hate sippy cups. My boys were done with the bottle before they were a year old and onto regular plastic cups. I've can't stand to see a child tote a sippy cup all over the house, spilling and dribbling milk, etc. all over the place. I used to make them sit at the kitchen table or just sit on the floor somewhere and hold their cup to drink.

And, yeah, I know they have those little rubber things that are supposed to prevent the spilling, but they don't work all that well.

I'm with you no sippys and no food in a bottle

I started both of my kids on a practice cup (e.g., sippy) as soon as they were starting to eat anything with a spoon. They both were interested in my drink so they were eager to get a cup of their own. They both had given up bottles before they were 1 and were on sippy's on their own by around 10 months. They enjoyed knowing they could drink on their own- must be that independent nature of them both.

I havent found one sippy cup that my 10 month old can actually "sip" out of. It upsets her.. Anyone find a "good" "easy" "spill" drip proof one yet?
