I didn't want to have to go through all of that again with our 2nd... mainly because the transition to the sippy cup was a nightmare! BUT, the Nuk learner cup worked like magic the 2nd time around... our youngest went straight from the breast to the cup! And I must say, of all the sippy cups I've tried (probably every one made) the Nuk is my fave. And apparently it was my little guy's fave too since it took an act of congress to get it away from him ;) Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-55620343856863997702011-06-29T12:40:04.660-05:002011-06-29T12:40:04.660-05:00Our Emery is turning one Saturday, and to get her ...Our Emery is turning one Saturday, and to get her from nursing and a bottle to a sippy cup we used the Avent ones.

If he is having difficulty transitioning from the bottle to the sippy cup, you want to find something with a latex tip, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/NUK-Learner-Latex-Single-Colors/dp/B002UXQRKW.<br />I have used this particular model and you can find it at Wal-Mart or Target. Hope this helps!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527683444711303601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-11137531351316578432011-06-28T19:58:52.982-05:002011-06-28T19:58:52.982-05:00We love the Playtex ones - they have a handle on e...We love the Playtex ones - they have a handle on each side and a harder (but flexible) spout.

They have a air diffuser type thing in them like the dr browns that keeps the air out which I think helps. I've also seen some sippy cups that actually have a nipple shaped sippy part (I think Williams Sonoma may carry them) that may also be worth looking into! Good luck and let us know what works:)<br /><br />Hope you're having a great week!the workaholic mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576073045308775735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-18679904564408715962011-06-28T18:54:07.282-05:002011-06-28T18:54:07.282-05:00My two haven't been able to use the "trad...My two haven't been able to use the "traditional" sippy cup.

Most speech therapists will say to stay away from sippy cups. I DON't say this as I was a nanny for 5 years in college and sippy cups are MUCH needed, especially during travel. <br />I give this advice that I picked up from a parenting magazine a while ago:<br /><br />Sippy cup: Keep this one in your diaper bag, and use it for bedtime or when your tot is all dressed up. <br />Benefits: Saves your sanity! <br /><br />But to answer your question, I have heard from many parents that they have had success iwth the TILTY sippy cup. I prefer that children use all sippy cups sitting up (based on the recommendations of pediatricians) and the TILTY has a tilt inside so that your son doesn't have to tilt his head back...it gives them some help when they eventually sip from an open cup.<br /><br />Like I said, I can only give you what I know, and I am sure you will get a lot of WONDERFUL advice from all the mommy's out there! Good luck with this transtion!

It is just like her bottle but instead of a nipple it is a straw. I have to warn you...it is pretty much spill proof which is a plus but it is quite a pain to clean. My daughter would take one sip of milk out of a sippy cup and gag-it seemed like she was getting too much also.
