Finally, mommy is down to washing one straw cup per night! I have blogged about the tedium of washing milk bottles and transition cups. Yang could attest to the fact that I’m very particular about the cleanliness of our crockery and utensils. Every nook and cranny must be thoroughly washed. And with bottles and cups that come with so many parts, it felt like an endless job just washing them every night.<\/p>\n

The straw cup in the photo above was used for drinking warm milk. I just decided recently to try giving Hannah milk in a normal cup instead. She took some adjusting to but since she loved milk, she would hold on to the cup trying to drink from it until the last drop was gone.<\/p>\n

Record time for drinking milk from straw cup: 30 seconds<\/em><\/p>\n

Initial record time for drinking milk from a normal cup: 5 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n

Patience is key. After 1 week of drinking from the normal cup, the time taken was reduced to 2 minutes. Her ability to swallow fluids have improved. Of course, there was a bit a spillage now and then but that’s part of growing up.<\/p>\n

Hannah is still using one straw cup as that serves as her water bottle. It is necessary to bring it for her playgroup and also all our outings.<\/p>\n

Below are some photos of our dear girl drinking from a normal cup at Pizza Hut restaurant.<\/p>\n
