[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feels babyish.

We did sippy cup for age 1. Straw cup for age 2 with open cup practice. By 3, mostly open cup with spills, plus water thermos. [/quote]

You mean those munchkin type sippy? Anyway, if your daughter is fine with kiddish and grandma insist. I will just let it go. Not worth the fight in exchange of baby sitting.

If your kid chews that thing and will have a bad bite or some other issue, then it’s a different story. But since she is not a chewer etc, I can’t see any physical harm from drinking off this sippy except for the childish factor. I am sure by tween, this problem will go away.

What water bottle does she use at school? Does it have a sport spout and does she have any issue with it because of confusion using it at  grandmas?

My own kids had a problem with straw chewing because my parents love giving my kids those camelbak bite valve bottles. So they kinda love chewing on their water bottles straws or sport spouts eg. On a hyper fuel Nike that my daughter’s sports club gives. And she bites hard on them leaving lost of marks when it is not necessary to chew to drink. We can’t replace because it’s a team all requiring to use the same water bottle kinda thing. [/quote]

I believe they are Nuks.  Not sure if that's the exact brand but that is the style of sippies she has there.  She uses a Live Infinitely 20 Oz Kids Water Bottle with Straw at home and school.  The only thing she wont stop chewing on is her thumb.  She still sucks her thumb.  It’s mostly when she is tired but I hate it when she tries to talk to me with it still in her mouth.  I cant exactly take away her thumb but I would like to figure out a way to slowly wean her from the actual sucking if that's possible.  I am all ears if you have any suggestions on that.[/quote]

Oooh nuks! Those with the soft straw? Does she chew on her other straw bottle then when she is in school? Maybe that’s why grandma gives the soft straw for her to chew and hoping it will divert her thumb sucking?[/quote]

Not the ones with the straw.  Hers are the actual toddler sippy cup with a small spout.  She doesn.t chew on the one for school and home.  She doesn't chew on the sippy cup either.[/quote]
