Thank you I’ve been tryna get my 10 month old to drink out of a cup for months he’s exclusively breast fead and refuses to try anything but this is genius

The issue here is that infants this young do not know when to stop sucking on the straw and often choke. Using the straw to give little ones liquid is fine because the adult measures the amount they give. Just know that choking can and does happen.

She raw asf for that
Let me get my notebook writing ✍🏽 things I should know as a good mom ❤

WARNING: My Pediatrician warned me years ago NOT to allow kids to use hard straws (soft paper straws OK after toddler age). REASON: They are mobile, accidentally fall, and the straw goes right through the roof of the mouth! 😮 Primarily the thin hard straws of those carton drinks.

[ishratjereen]

[malenamajors]

[amydk]

Wow these little cuties are just born so advanced these days. Goodness gracious me!!!! How cool!!!!😊

My 6 and half baby taught herself how to drink out of a straw. I had strawberry milkshake in front of her when I looked down she was drinking it. That was the first time she’d seen a straw.

So cute. I love the little noises they make 🥹

This and the honey bear straw bottle works wonders for training babies to drink from a straw. I taught my son at 6 months a straw and open cup since he wouldnt take a bottle. It's good for their oral development as well!

My baby learned how to drink from a straw at 4 months completely accidentally. His vitamin d is given in a 1ml dropper, one day he was able to suck it out like a straw and kept doing it everyday from then on. Tried giving him a straw and he immediately knew what to do!

And then there is me, gave my kids a shot glass to practicing drinking 😂

[norab]

Yes! My mom taught my boys around the same age with the same technique! Works like a charm!

[sarge]

Awwww❤❤❤❤ she is just too cute and adorable
I just love babies❤❤❤❤

[MommyGav]

Yep. That's how I taught all 5 of my kids to drink from a straw.

My mom did this with my sister and my sister drinks out of any cup now. We ofc have to hold the regular cups for her but she likes taking tiny regular sips.

What's the hurry ? Watching our healthy little ones reach milestones on their own times is such a joy

Also using the baby food squize pouches work. Mine skipped right over sippy cups because she was already used to the straw effect.
