This whole feeding thing is so important when it comes to speech later on and, like I've said before, if the speech isn't easily understood, there aren't that many people out there who will not immediately connect 'poor' output with 'poor' understanding and diminished abilities (schmucks!), even when the issue is simply the physical producing of the sounds. <br />That being said, we've gone from the bottle to the honey bear which we love and which works perfectly for us and i think I'm going to stick with a straw until the Babe begins to get the whole 'if I don't hold onto this here cup the contents will pour all over my hairless head and up my teeny nose and into places that will require a bath and/or possibly a doctor to get a look at before attempting liquid extraction.' So, you know, just avoiding that ER with the straw, totes.Extranjerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972708570414496825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547437486205245818.post-72596229456967058682012-10-09T09:14:45.800-04:002012-10-09T09:14:45.800-04:00Great post,I saw this cup and was wondering if it ...Great post,I saw this cup and was wondering if it would be good to try.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937942674687663513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547437486205245818.post-56053216687759691172012-10-04T19:49:58.737-04:002012-10-04T19:49:58.737-04:00My kid is 3 and still drinks from a bottle.

I might try the cup that seemed to work for Wyatt, actually it sounds very similar to one we used to use for her older sisters...Mariskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178383873039929063noreply@blogger.com
