still having trouble getting my son on a sippy cup help me!?

I honestly don't think it has much to do with the cup, but more just about patience. Some kids give up bottles early, and some need them pried for their sticky little hands when they are 3,4 even 5 years old. If you don't have at least 3 different kinds though, I would go and grab a few, just in case he is picky.

Now...Throw out the Nuby cups. This will only make it harder. Since he is 14 months, he isn't taking milk or formula as his only nutrition, so you don't have to worry about him not getting enough food. Dirty all the Nuby cups up, or sell them on craigslist. Give them away. Do whatever you can so that you don't have them available. Get a few of the new sippy cups ready, so they are handy...

When you are with your baby give him one, and then have one for you. Start drinking from it, like it's no big deal. Don't flaunt it in his face, because then he might catch on to your game if he's observant. Just kind of drink from it casually. At this age they love to do whatever mom or dad does.

If it doesn't work, don't worry. 3 days is all it will take, and that's only an estimate. It could take just 1 or 2 days. Most anything you have to wean from a baby will take about 3 days. With my daughter it took 3 days to fall asleep on her own, and sleep all night. It took 3 days to move straight from bottle to sippy. It took 3 days for her to get used to cows milk. It takes 3 days for her to get settled in to any new experience, before she is right back to her old self.

3 is the magic number, I think. It feels like a long time, but they start to give in much earlier. Don't let him see the other cups though. That will only make things harder. Just make sure that you don't force it on him. Just set it out where he can see it, and make sure he realizes there is liquid in it. Set it on his high chair during meals and snacks, and have it near him when he is down playing. He'll pick it up eventually. Probably easier with real milk, than it was with formula.

My son is 2. He was on a sippy cup by about 10 or 11 months. I just would switch cups on him while he was in the middle of drinking. He picked it up in lke 3 days. After that he refused to take a bottle and he was drinking out of a straw by his 1st birthday.

Have you tried just a normal cup or a cup with a straw?

I use sippy cups because they are easy, but they really aren't terribly good for toddlers -some experts think the contribute to speech problems. Ultimately of course the goal is to get kids to use real cups ;-)

well with my 10 kids they all (8 of them) are past that stage and 1 is on nippys and 1 is still bottled and i believe you need to give it time and just tell him "excitedly" hunn look this is a big boy cup do you want to use this cup instead of this cup and let him choose and one day he will choose the other sippy cups just get him a nice color or fun thing that he would like and believe me it will work!

Hope i helped

I have 3 sons. All 3 have used the gerber graduates twisties by 14 months. Suggest trying one of these

I am having the same issues with my son. He was drinking his juice from a Gerber Nuk cup, and it had a latex sipper. (I've had several of them and the latex part kept molding) Now, I have him on a playtex sippy cup and he HATES it. He refuses to drink from it, but I keep offering it to him. I figure if I keep offering it to him, he'll take it eventually.

I am having the same problem...same sippy cups. I have tried other ones also.

The best way to get him to take the new kind, is to only offer that type to him. You may get some tantrums at first, but with perserverence, he will get the hang of it!

You may want to try removing the no drip valve on it at first, so he doesn't have to try to hard at first to get anything out of it

Good luck to ya!
