Sippy Cups
There are sippy cups with straws and sippy cups that a raised lip with holes. Is one better than the other? Is one for older kids?
Many toddlers have trouble learning to use a straw at first. Straws are narrow and require a different sucking method than a bottle or sippy cup with a raised lip. Sippy cups with the wide, raised lip are similar to drinking from a bottle, and so many toddlers start with these. Be sure to use one with a soft spout until your child is comfortable with the spout. Of course, every child is different, and some children take to a cup with a straw right away. The key is to try a few different types and choose the one that your child likes best.
