Around 11 months, Emmy started using those sippy cups with the straws already attached. I don't remember the first time she used an actual adult straw though.

this has nothing to do with your posted question but being an alberta girl, DID YOU GET ALL THAT EFFING SNOW??!

Brooklyn doesn't yet, and Madison was probably about 11-12 months. I haven't tried with Brooklyn, maybe I should soon ;)

She was around 8 or 9 months old. I was holding her in my lap at a restaurant chatting with a friend and she just leaned over and started sucking down my lemonade!

My son started using a sippy cup with the silicone straw around 8 mos. He was able to use a regular straw around the same time. He actually preferred sucking on a straw over a bottle, and weaned himself completely by 9 mos.

my friend's baby was 10 months.

My son started using a straw this past weekend, so 8 months.


Sorry i'm not quiet a PWT yet, but wanted to reply.

I think my oldest was around 10-11 mos., and my youngest was 7.5 mos. My mom taught them so I'm not sure exactly how she did it.
