x-small sippy cups!

I made a discovery today that I thought I would share. You know The First
Years semi-disposable sippy cups? They also have small snack cups and the
sippy cup lids fit on the snack cups! I tried it with dd (13 months)tonight
and she did great and there was much less wasted milk.

That's great - but can't you just fill a regular sippy cup half-way
and be done with it?

Perhaps after they learn how the sippy cup works. Many younger babies
cannot figure out that they need to tip the cup high enough to get the
liquid out so you're always filling the cup full so they have to tip
less but still get the liquid. Then they begin to understand the "tip
up" idea. My kid is breastfed and perhaps this is why he doesn't get
it. (He doesn't see enough bottles being held up that way) This is a
good tip!

I don't remember that ever being an issue, though of course I concede
that it could be for some kids! I did the "half full" bit a lot,
because I hate wasting a drink when ds rarely drinks the whole thing.
He is/was breastfed, but he did get bottles at daycare, fwiw.
