@Kulala: the Thermos Foogo isn't a sippy? The one we have is a straw cup. Maybe there is a sippy version. Regardless, I wouldn't recommend the FOogo for a beginner because the straw is quite big. I like starting with the ThinkBaby Thinkster or Zoli for beginners. Beware that almost all of them will leak...

Playtex used to make the little gripper straw cup so that you could squeeze the bottom and the liquid would come up the straw so that the baby could start to get used to how to use a straw. They don't do that anymore. Therefore, in the beginning, we used the take n toss straw cups since you can squeeze the liquid up. Once they get the hang of it, then you can move on to others. Clearly these aren't leak proof. And they don't have handles

We've actually move to these cups now and I really like them

I really liked the zoli cup in the beginning stage. It gets a bit annoying later because it can leak sometimes and the straw is pretty senstive but its a great started straw cup

I also believe Thermos makes a straw cup: http://www.amazon.com/DwellStudio-Thermos-Insulated-Stainless-Funtainer/dp/B0101530DW?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
