Water cup/ beaker

Does anyone else’s little ones just not know how to suck on a beaker to get water?? My little girl is 11 months! She doesn’t suck but will bite on it, so I’ve got her the beakers with the rubber spouts so she can bite and the water will be released a little bit. Because of this she also wouldn’t know how to drink from a straw. I feel like she should know how to use a normal beaker since I see lots of people talking about moving onto open cups! I won’t even attempt that as her current beaker gets launched across the room as it is! Any suggestions?😅 Picture of the beaker we use

@joanne I’ve got one like this that is free flow, and my little girl won’t drink from it but will shake the life out of it until there’s no water left and we’re all drenched head to foot 😂 I haven’t even heard from the HV’s yet! I didn’t even think about asking them x

@Charlotte ooo I hadn’t heard of those ones before, they are really nice looking!😂 I might have to give them a go as well. Getting a bit ridiculous how much I’ve spent on cups though 😂x

@joanne we have the same cup, it took a while for him to get it but then all of a sudden he just did it and can drink from it now 🎉

I got my son to take a straw by basically Putting a bit of water in the straw (just putting it in water and putting my thumb over the top to hold the water in) then I put it in his mouth and let the water go. He Kinda got the hang of it after that but he was about 6 months so not sure if different now they are older.
