What age did you start working on your kids to use a real cup rather than a sippy? How did you do it? And what age were they off the sippy altogether?
I've been trying to teach Miabella but it always ends with her just dipping her fingers in and licking the water off rather than trying to drink it the proper way. ![]() |

We started the transition shortly after her 2nd birthday. She spilled a lot in the beginning, but she's much better at it now and will not even take a sippy (unless we're in the car or out for a walk). Try using water bottles that way she can't stick her hands in it.

Brooke was about 18 months and Madison started around 13 month - she wanted to be just like big sister Brooke so she made the transition much earlier and quicker.

If it makes you feels better, my MIL made them use sippy cups at her house until they were almost 3. ![]() |

My mil makes the boys use sippy cups still and they are 4 and almost 6!!
Alex was 2-3 when he stopped having a sippy at home. Maybe just do a big girl cup at meal time and work on it from there. -------------------- |

I think KAty was probably 2-3, MAtt 18 months-2, Johnny 15-18 months. We just threw away the last sippy yesterday. We still ahve water bottles for the car or something but at home it is all regular cups.

Ashley could drink out of regular cups about 18 months, but we used sippy cups for a long time for the same reason as stated above... to cut down on the mess. However, her dentist told us to switch to the sippys with a straw instead because prolonged use of a sippy cup is not good for their teeth.

Tanner was about 2.5 I think. After that he used a regular cup when he would eat at the table. If it was around the house or on trips, etc...we used the sports sippers.

HA, I tried this with Cate once, and instead of bringing the cup to her lips, she poured it over her head! We are going to wait awhile!!
She's 18 months old! |

hummm she could use one when she was around 12 months (not very well) but by 18 months no problem but I kept her on sippy for a while cause of spills, now we use both reg cups and straw cups.
