Sippy Cup Battles

Maliyah had her one year doctor appt on Oct 8th. Dr Snell told Britt it was time to get rid of the bottle and move on to sippy cups. Britt & Maliyah went cold turkey! It was awesome. For 2 whole days she used her playtex sippy cup (stage 2) and all was well with the world. Day 3 rolled around and Maliyah rebelled! No more sippy cup for her. She'd just do without any liquids at all rather than drink from a sippy cup. Day 4 we were getting deperate to get liquids in her. We used straws to pour some in her mouth, let he drink from our cups, whatever we could do. We had Avent sippy cups, Nuby sippy cups, Playtex Sippy cups, Baby Einstein sippy cups, Cups with and without valves. Cups with and without handles. At one point Britt lined up 6 cups with milk in them and let her try each one. She refused them all.

Last Saturday we were at Babies R Us. Britt found a new kind of sippy cup. A Nuby sport sipster. It has a straw like top but you have to turn it up to drink from it. She bought one to try. We went to lunch at Outback Steakhouse. Britt gave her the cup and low and behold.....she liked it!!! We went back to BRU and bought 3 more. Yesterday she drank out of it and got mad when I took it away!

The sippy cup wars may be over........we hope!
