This worked with my first on the first attempt. I need to try it with my 2nd 😊

i put a little bit of fruit puree on the end on the straw and it basically prompted him to suck. i did it a couple times until he learned to just do it alone + now he drinks a ton of water during the day !

Do you use weighted straw cups? My daughter struggles with other types of cups but the weighted straw ones she loves. We use tum tum cups 😊
