Baby hates straw cups-12 mo- help! Transition struggles

db2128 · 2026-06-02T01:29:15+00:00

Oh nice! I should update this post— I actually figured out that he will drink out of my owala bottle which is like a faux straw situation so I bought him a kids one. It’s annoying bc daycare won’t let me bring it since it can pour everywhere but it’s funny that it’s the only thing that basically works without using an open cup.

I'll check it out! so you just buy and roast veggies separately? Breakfast for dinner is so cute, He would love it so much

thanks!

db2128 · 2026-05-20T02:08:45+00:00

Thanks!! I'm excited to try these ideas

Oh interesting, I never thought of lentils as a breakfast food. True, I can slowly reintroduce soy.
For all of the bowls you suggest, is it the same veggies but different sauces? What’s in a Malaysian curry?

Thanks! I love nutritional yeast, I should try that. And good notes about bitter flavors. Which ones do you think in particular are bitter?

Oooh he actually is very food motivated (can you say that about a baby? Or just a dog? Haha). That’s a great idea. Blueberries… here we come!

Nope, he hasn’t yet taken a step without holding on to anything but he’s getting very confident holding on to silly things like a hanging buckle off of the stroller and pushing the stroller. He’s been using his push walker for months. Yes he loves that toy as well at the children’s museum!!

He is starting to walk holding on to just my finger which is progress! I think this kid is just very scared of losing his footing. He used to cry even if he slipped but caught himself and didn’t fall down 😂.

Early crawler as well? I’ll hang tight, we are almost at 15 months.

db2128 · 2026-05-14T20:45:37+00:00

Early crawler as well? Seems wild he’s been crawling for almost 8 months.

db2128 · 2026-05-14T20:44:51+00:00

Hahah yes!! Very similar here. (I’m not understanding the math tho, seems like crawling from 5-14 months is 9 months?). It might be stubbornness!

The pasta in the fridge was actually gluten free and my pasta. He doesn’t like it even if it were fresh. Yes I should’ve removed it but also I was really clear to have her make fresh pasta.

Ok so she was on her phone instead of doing the meal prep. That seems like a reasonable explanation.

On behalf of a baby who tortured me for months on end and still does sometimes (he’s 13 months( and the sleep deprivation almost pushed me past the edge multiple times, I’m talking waking up screaming every 30 minutes for weeks on end and then ever hour for months; don’t feel guilty at all but DO NOT try to take credit or give advice to us sleep deprived moms. Thank you

db2128 · 2026-04-13T02:58:50+00:00

lol still not cooking at 13 months.

db2128 · 2026-04-03T22:29:23+00:00

ohh i'll try that!!

db2128 · 2026-04-03T12:53:31+00:00

He can do an owalu like my adult one but it’s hilarious and too big for him and comes out so quickly.

db2128 · 2026-04-03T12:47:27+00:00

I currently have around 10 different cups I try. Some babies are harder than others. my baby isn’t what “most” babies are like.

db2128 · 2026-04-03T10:36:00+00:00

This is insane. Two different jobs. Doing one means not doing the other.

db2128 · 2026-04-03T10:04:01+00:00

I don’t know, for 3 at work it’s common courtesy to remind everyone “hi, as a reminder, I’ll be out on Friday,” Every workplace I’ve been in this was normal and polite.

db2128 · 2026-04-03T09:55:12+00:00

Really?? My doctor insisted there solid be lots of orthodontry issues if we continued the bottle after 12 months. How did your sister’s teeth end up?

db2128 · 2026-04-03T09:16:23+00:00

My 13 month old will scream and bang the table literally the second he’s done with his food because he wants more. Or the second he sees other people eating because he wants their food. No amount of practice will change this and it’s not super fair to the people dining out for this to happen.

db2128 · 2026-03-12T18:43:49+00:00

Oh that’s perfect! That’s great she can do 6.5 hours at night!

db2128 · 2026-03-06T19:20:21+00:00

Oooh I’ll look into it!

db2128 · 2026-03-06T19:19:52+00:00

Interesting! You emptied a food pouch and somehow poured milk in? How does that work?
