#101: Should your baby learn to drink from an open cup or a straw cup first? In this episode, pediatric swallowing specialist Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP, explains why open cup drinking comes first, how it supports feeding and speech development, and when to introduce a straw cup. You’ll learn the developmental reasons behind both skills and how to help your baby build confidence with drinking at mealtimes. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What feeding and speech milestones are tied to open cup and straw cup drinking, and why open cup practice comes first 2. Why Dawn’s straw cup design includes a beginner side and an advanced side, and how both support safer, more independent drinking 3. How Dawn’s 3-phase developmental drinking approach helps your baby build age-appropriate cup drinking skills step by step.
