: Hi,

: I was just wondering when others introduced a regular plastic drinking cup to their toddlers?
: My son who will soon be 14 months drinks from a sippy cup fine but has shown some interest in drinking from a regular cup. He has tried the regular cup a few times but usually ends up spilling some of his drink on himself. I have also not tried a straw with him yet because I'm worried he will just chew on it and not realize what it is for.

He should no what a straw is by now, my too started at one and the other at 8 months. My daughter is 21 months and still spils drinks all over her self, my son who is too going to be three at the end of december can drink out of one fine. So i would hold on that for awhile
