🥤This is the most common issue that comes up in response to anything I post about straw cups! 🥤Typically with straw cups, I like to start with shorter straws that are relatively narrow, because the flow tends to be slower and therefore easier for a baby to handle as they are learning a new way to drink. 🥤Sometimes in the beginning, the flow is still hard to manage. 🥤You might see your child spit out liquid or cough. If it doesn’t start to get better pretty quickly, you might want to try putting something thicker in the cup to help your child control the flow better. 🥤If that doesn’t work, you may want to try a straw cup with a valve to slow down the liquid a little bit more. 🥤If you try all of these things, and your child continues to struggle and is not getting better with practice, talk with your pediatrician and ask for a referral to a feeding specialist! 👉🖇️ to my favorite cups in bye oh! #strawdrinking #babystraw #strawcup #toddlercup #toddlerlife #parentinghacks #responsivefeeding #babyledweaning #slp #feedingtherapy
