[quote=Anonymous]We used the honey bear straw cups and the “pipette method”. My husband thought I was crazy but was amazed when our child actually picked up how to use a straw after a few demonstrations. From Google: “To teach a baby to use a straw, start by using the "pipette method": dip a straw into a small amount of liquid like breastmilk or formula, trap a little bit at the end with your finger, then present the straw to the baby's mouth, allowing them to open their mouth and suck the liquid when you release your finger; gradually transition to thinner liquids once they grasp the concept of sucking from a straw, and consider using thicker purees initially to help them seal their lips around the straw.”[/quote]
