Starting Sippy Cup/Free Flowing vs Spill Proof?

  • Posted on December 15, 2010 at 1:25 pm

When starting a sippy, did you find it easier to go with the free flowing valve or spill proof, and why?

My thoughts are the free flowing may be easier for baby to get the concept, while spill proof prevents messes while baby is learning….any other thoughts/experiences?

Im asking because my daughter has just sort of been playing around with the spill proof for about 2 months, and she only chews on the spout rather than sucks to make the water come out. She drinks from it, nonetheless, but Im not sure if she is drinking on purpose and realizes she is making the water come out, or if she is just thinks its a leaky teether. Wondering if maybe she will get the concept of drinking from a sippy if it were more free flowing. (She only gets water from the sippy, so messes arent really an issue, it will dry) Thoughts? Thanks!

My daughter once had beautiful thick hair. Then something happened and it turned very dry and will not grow. She wound up with a mohawk. But it wasn’t even either and it was dry as well. I have tried everything I can think of. But it is extremely dry. As soon as I put a moisturizer (non-alcohol) in her hair with in an hour it is dry again like it drank it up and it did nothing. It isn’t course persay, just really dry. It doesn’t have kinks in it, it is just very very dry. She is only 1 1/2 and I want to help her hair. Should I just cut it all off and start over. It isn’t that long as I cut down the mohawk to make it even with the rest of the hair. But the hair just seemed to stop growing all together.
Any tips, suggestions? Help!
Ack ok ok I won’t cut it lol. I use Johnson and Johnson but I did try a regular one from profectiv as well. She may need a supplement but I make sure to feed her from the food groups everyday. Can that still be the problem in that case. Her hair was so beautiful, but i am bi-racial and her father is black. I just blamed him lol.
