Torah: when’d you have a baby…?
Seriously though… my dear daughter is going to turn 9 months in 2 days. She drinks from a straw (can’t say beautifully cause she likes to take it into her mouth and squirt straight back at me sometimes 🙁 At least she’s cute) I didn’t have to work to hard to teach her. The first time I just sucked the drink up the straw and then put it into her mouth so that she’d realize the drink can come out of there. Then I just put the straw into her mouth and waited till she sucked on her own! I bought her a sippy cup that works with a straw and it’s an absolute pleasure!
Hope this helps
