Sippie Cup
When do you give your 1 year old his/her sippie cup of milk througout the day...at meal times or different times.

Re: Sippie Cup
Oliver has a sippy cup of his "milk" & water available all day long... He drinks 1-2 sippy cups of "milk" each day and then maybe 1 sippy cup of water each day too.
He also has his water & milk at meal/snack times but he has access to his drinks all day long.
Welsey nurses when he wakes. He has water with breakfast since he just nursed. Milk for AM snack, lunch, PM snack. He has water with supper and then nurses shortly after (before bedtime routine).
If he seems thirsty at other times, he gets water. I did give him milk after a bad spill yesterday
When I'm home with Neena she nurses so I only put water in her sippy. On those days she'll usually drinks about 5-6 oz. of water.
When she goes to daycare she gets a 6 oz. sippy that is filled with pumped milk and whole milk (i'm not pumping enough to do all breast). She'll drink that entire sippy then our daycare provider fills it with water. When she gets home from daycare she nurses and has water at supper.
