Now that I’m eating solid foods, I’m also practicing drinking something other than milk. I’m drinking barely tea out of my baby mug. It has different tops for me to practice with. The first stage is a practice straw where suckling and sucking brings the tea up the straw and then I can drink. It is a lot easier that using a regular straw. I manage to use the straw pretty well, but keeping the tea in my mouth is another issue. It is not as sweet as milk and I’m not really a fan of it.
