I love my cup!

Kyley loves her straw cup.  She has this blue and yellow one, a pink and green one (actually two), and I am not even sure what the other new colors are.  Kyley is still breast feeding exclusively.   When I say exclusively I mean that literally.  She refuses to take the bottle and always has...I think I can count on both hands how many times she has taken a bottle.  So, everyone suggested getting her a cup.  I tried every brand/type of cup out there.  Then, my sister suggested a few months ago that breastfed babies do well with straw cups, but she said to make sure it is the soft, bendable straw cup.  Well, I searched everywhere and finally found 1 left at babies r us and 1 at Walmart.  We thought we would try it out with some water just to see what she would do.  She immediately grabbed on to it like a professional back then.  Now, she is a master at drinking from this cup.  We give it to her at meals with water.  She needs the water to help keep her regular, and she absolutely despises juice both apple and pear.  Kyley gets so excited every morning when I pull her cup out, and she anxiously anticipates every time we are going to give her a drink.  Sometimes, I just let her sit and practice with her cup.  She loves it, and she drinks well from it.  She also plays with it, throws it, chews on it, and on occasion she will even take milk from it for her daddy:)  So, I ordered two more online.  We are making progress!!!
