My son never learned to drink from a hard spout cup (?!) he just couldn’t coordinate it for some reason. But straws worked great- I chose a cup with quite a short straw and sucked the liquid up myself first before offering it to bub- so he only had to suck a tiny bit to get the ‘reward’ and soon worked it out

@Emily – yep! It is a good thing!

@Lori C- sadly, the Easter bunny hid ours indoors so (I hope) a squirrel is not to blame…

@Cate – small world! Yes, here’s hoping next year is different!

@Megan – I hadn’t considered that a straw might be an option soon. We may try that at 5-6 months. And I currently have no plans to go anywhere before that…

But on the plus side, you aren’t very far from solids, and also not far from learning to use a cup. My boobie baby learned to drink from a straw cup around 5 months and we used that + baby cereal made with lots of EBM + other solids when I wasn’t available for a feed. He just made up for it later 🙂

I was born on a Sunday morning, and listening to people tell the tale of being musically rushed through the service that morning (the organ cut off the sermon, and all hymns were only two verses long) was something I had forgotten about until I clicked. Thank you! And beautifully done, but here’s hoping next year’s performance is different.

One was still hidden for several months one year – I think we found it in the roaster when we took it out to cook turkey for Thanksgiving! 🙂
