Question for the moms! We are working on transitioning to a sippy cup. My lil dude puts it his mouth and holds it but doesn’t know to suck to get the milk/water out. We have tried two different cups so far. Is there one you recommend or do you have any tips to get him to suck on it?

We used juice boxes and at first would squeeze the box to push juice through the straw. We very rarely give juice, so he was highly motivated to figure out how to get more out - worked like a charm!

Silicone cups with removable straw for juices and milk. Munchkin cups for water.

Awesome, thanks everyone! I think we will try a straw cup next!

The munchkin straw cups were a win for us. Took our little guy about a week or two to get the hang of it, and we started out with a water/pedialite mix too. He got it though! Keep trying!

Munchkin 360 is the type the pediatrician and dentist recommended to prevent oral issues. Traditional sippy cups are not spill proof/resistant as these cups and also they don’t teach you how to sip from a real cup so you have to train a 2nd time, and lastly not good for oral long term according to both my docs.

It was much easier to teach my kid than the original sippy cups anyway, as well. Kept thinking it was a bottle and would cry when nothing came out.

We have never used sippy cups. Straight to drinking from a straw cup. Munchkin Any Angle Click Lock Weighted Straw Trainer Cup and now we use the Spill proof Contigo cups - which we only use for water. For anything other than water one of the ezpz tumblers with a lid and straw but since he won’t drink milk it doesn’t get used often

The honey bear straw cup helps them learn how to suck liquids up because you can squeeze it gently, and then they figure it out quickly. Also much easier to wash than other cups. 2 Pack Honey Bear Straw Cups with 4 Flexible Straws & Cleaning Tools(2 Straw Brushes &1 Bottle Brush), 8-Ounce Therapy Sippy Bottles for Speech and Feeding Training, Leak-Proof & Food-Grade & BPA Free https://a.co/d/iX50YuH

For 1-year-old kids, would daycare or nanny a better option? First time parents here.

We really like the social aspects of daycare, since we don’t have many friends with kids here and our family lives in Europe. However, sending the kid to school everyday can be inconvenient. We are willing to do that if our kid enjoys the social activities and learnings from daycare.

We find the good daycare can cost as much as full time nanny for 5 days / week, so cost may not be a huge differentiator here.

Not sure if anyone has experience with this but figured I’d ask. My 8yo daughter has been gaining weight over the last 2 years.

I’ve gotten rid of all unhealthy food in the house but she will eat a lot of everything, always wants seconds and very hard to control. I don’t know what to do. Is it too early for a nutritionist?
