Milestone: Drinking from a Straw Cup
Date: 29 November 2007 - Thursday
Racia is 8 Months, 3 weeks and 4 days old today
Mummy gave Racia a straw cup today - her Hello Kitty Combi Straw cup (Gift from Da Gu).
And to mummy's surprise, Racia immediately sipped up the water useing the straw from the cup with no difficulty.
The good news is that Racia managed to take in a lot more fluid via the straw cup than her own Pigeon sprout MagMag sippy! First day attempt, total of 100ml of water sipped/consumed.
Mummy was worried initially on how to train Racia to sip from a straw but it seems like her worry were unfounded. And with Racia handling the straw so well, Mummy realised that she should have given the straw cup to Racia much earlier.
Mummy wonder if it is because Racia is a fully latched on baby ( thus with a strong instinct to suck) which explains why she can handle/sip on the straw so well at her first attempt??
P.S: On closer inspection, mummy finds that the combi straw cup has many better features than the Pigeon MagMag.
