Straw. He's really good at it and the nuk straw sippy is perfect for starters.

straw, best for speech development!

We started off with the legendary bear bottle for learning: https://www.legendairymilk.com/products/honey-bear-straw-cup?variant=41028742709383&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=21891341988&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwLO_BhB2EiwAx2e-32cFP83K_ZuYOdgSuRm0IRz3zzakdIADfYGz74o4vGrZGe80iCwSyRoC8eYQAvD_BwE And then use these now and he loves them. Amazon brand mama bear. I like that you can see if he’s drinking (for both water and taking milk this way): https://a.co/d/c3BvM47

Great question! I couldn’t get my baby to drink water from an open cup, sippy cup or bottle… I thought a straw would be a non starter but it sounds like it works so I’ll give it a try too!

I have that tiny silicone cup (can’t remember the name) that he’ll sometimes use at meals. We’ve used for about 2 months now and he now can switch up what type of cup he uses and liquids are actually going down! My LO is also obsessed with whatever I’m drinking so I’ll sometimes share my water with a straw or cup. Takes time and practice but just a few different ideas!
