My 7 month old little girl first was introduced to a sippy cup when she was just under 6 months old. It took a while, but she finally would suck on it. For the past 2 weeks or so, she won't take it at all. She might bite it, but she usually just laughs when I put it in her mouth. She's breastfed, and hasn't had a bottle for like 2 months or so, so maybe it's because she doesn't suck on anything artificial. I just recently have been teaching her how to drink out of a regular cup, and it's going ok but a little messy. She used to just hold her mouth open. Now she'll shut it as soon as I pour a little juice in it and drink it, then open it again when she sees the cup. I would like her to know how to use a sippy cup as well that she can drink from by herself. She can hold it, as well as get it to her mouth, she just doesn't suck. I've tried dipping the spout in juice, and then she sometimes takes one sip, but that's about all. Any suggestions?
