#101: Which comes first for babies who are weaning: straw cup or open cup? Both are important when weaning off the breast or bottle and in this episode I’m joined by pediatric swallowing expert Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP who is going to talk about the importance of each, in their due time.   Dawn is the designer of the new ezpz Mini Cup + Straw Training System. She is the creator of the 3-Phase Developmental Drinking System that helps transition babies through their developmentally appropriate phases of learning how to drink. In this episode she’s breaking down everything you need to know about teaching your baby how to drink from a straw cup and what comes before and after that skill.     If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
