Tomme tippy brand are good

Like others have mentioned, the Heinz ones are good and will not leak if baby drops it. No sucking, no fluid escapes. I bought some different ones from a Reject shop and I can’t remember the brand. I wish I could as provided the top was screwed on properly they never leaked. You can take the top off some brands and use them as an ordinary drinking glass later. Not all are the right shape or practical to use that way. We progressed to one without handles with one that could have the lid left off. Sometimes the youngest one asked for the lid off during the transition stage. He had to have the lid on in the car.

Both Avent and Closer to Nature make excellent options. My son tended to chew up anything that had soft plastic on it.

there are some good comments here

heinz are good and cheap

I agree that the heinz ones at Coles are good

We love the “take and toss” supply cups

we went non spill to standard sippy cup and then she decided she liked the one with the straw – figures!

Hope you found one that she likes to use.

i used tommee tippy

Tommee Tippee non spill cups are fantastic!

Nuby brand ones seem good to me and not too $$$$.

You can buy regular cups that are non spill, my daughter uses one no problems and has done since she was one.

Started my son on a sip cup at 4 months old, look for hand coordination, that will tell you. Cheers

meh. mines been drinking from a sippy cup since 5 months. sure, she makes a mess from time to time, but its only water, so it’ll dry. if you are looking at buying non-spill cups, maybe try to see if there are any that later on you can just take the lid off and use as a normal cup. saves outlaying money twice.

Ive found theres no such thing as non spill I tried the silicone top sippy cup and the plastic as well as the straw and my son figured how to get the fluid out. Also silicone tops are useless if your child has teeth

http://www.facebook.com/bboxforkids?ref=br_tf They have the most awsomest sippy cups ever. My daughter would move on from her bottle. Despite trying several sippy cups. This is the only one she would use and she love it

Leave her with her sippy cup, they are great, why would you want to change?

My daughter is 16 months & drinks from an open cup (normal cup) & has been since before she was 12 months old. It’s best to train them from a young age. Just put a little bit of water at a time & prepare for a little mess at the start. It’s normal. I’m a paediatric speech pathologist & deal with kids’ eating & drinking all the time.

I use a Tommee Tippee straw cup or soft top for water and Tupperware straw cup for milk. Tupperware also have a cup with a dial that allows you to control the flow of liquid so your child can learn to drink from a cup without too much mess. I also have an Avent cup that teaches kids to drink from a cup. When they put it to their mouth the lip of the cup is pushed in allowing liquid to come out.
