My son starts to use straw to drink water/ juice and even soup long time ago. !st time was about 7 or 8 months, when I give him baby juice (with straw) to see if he can do it. Because of the juice tastes different, he likes it and keep on drinking it.
Since then, he always use straw to drink (ecept milk). 3 months ago I started to give him milk using straw instead of bottle. Actually per the expert's advice, we should stop using bottle/ nipple to drink milk once baby has teeth as it is no good to the teeth. Try to quit using bottle asap in order to keep good teeth for the baby.
