0·21 May 2026·on Up at 5 every morning with my 1 year old, and on my own till the caregiver comes

2·9 May 2026·on Our toddler will only drink water from my glass. Her own sipper goes straight on the floor

Ours went through the same thing. What helped was a small steel tumbler that looked exactly like mine, only smaller, filled a little at a time so the spills stayed small.
