I'm gonna try to munchkin cup and see how that goes, but also keep trying the Pur. The most important thing is that he can actually get liquid from the cup, so if I end up with a plastic one for a little while, i can totally live with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564236 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 09:17:22 +0000 Littlebit7 2564236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO spends a significant amount of time in a stroller like mine does, a weighted straw is great. I have the zoli, foogo, and munchkin and I like them all now. When she started, she really only liked the munchkin but like it was mentioned above, she got over her preference once she "got" the straw cup. Now she drinks all of her milk out of it and is also less picky about temperatures.<br /> although i have yet to find a cup that doesn't leak milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564208 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:35:52 +0000 Charm54 2564208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoli cup was the best for my girls learning to drink out of a straw cup. Only water though...the best cup I've found for milk is Vital Baby. It's a bit harder to drink out of though so I waited a bit longer to give that one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564204 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:29:45 +0000 winniebee 2564204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The zoli can leak but I've tried just about every straw cup and that is by far the easiest for my kids to learn from. It's light, they can drink from any angle, and it has handles and you don't have to suck hard to get liquid. Once they get the hang of it you can try other cups. I wanted to love lollacup but unlike zoli, they can't drink from every angle (if you tip it back like a sippy, you can't drink, and it leads to leftover milk in the cup). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564191 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:07:56 +0000 Anagram 2564191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lollacup. It's not perfect because it can leak a little, but it has the weighted straw like the munchkin but is easier to suck from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564186 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 07:45:53 +0000 Alba4 2564186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoli </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564169 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 06:41:00 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2564169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was the same as your. Hate plastic.. Used glass bottles, bamboo spoons/bowls but I have a picky 13 month old with sippy cups. I figured I'd use what I could get her to take and when she's older I would find a better one. The Nuby click straw cup has worked and she just got the hang of the miracle 360 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564168 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 06:39:50 +0000 lilyofthewest 2564168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like our ThinkBaby straw cups. We use the plastic ones, but they also have ones with a stainless steel body(silicone straw, plastic lid and handles). We use ours for water and milk with no leaks. I did make one hack/upgrade to them. I replaced the internal straw with weighted Zoli replacement straws. If you cut the zoli straw right under the bumps near the top it is a perfect fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564046 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:42:03 +0000 SweetCaroline 2564046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated the Munchkin cup so many others are suggesting. I hated how narrow the straw was and the stupid little brush it came with to clean it. I would definitely never put anything besides water in it. When moving from the cold fridge to the warm room, it spews milk out the straw. Apparently I am in the minority!</p> <p>We love the Contigo water bottles. Nice wide straw, easy to clean. They had a stainless steel version at one point.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EB8KMQE?fp=1&#038;pc_redir=T1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EB8KMQE?fp=1&#038;pc_redir=T1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564028 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:21:05 +0000 jape14 2564028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the Munchkin cup @LBee: suggested for milk. The Lollacup is also good for milk. We have Zolis but only use them for water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2564001 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 17:03:10 +0000 Ms.Badger 2564001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J uses Thermos Foogo which as mentioned is stainless. It doesn't have handles but J holds on to it just fine. He learned on some cheap plastic straw cup that is easier to suck from but now uses Foogo all the time without any issues </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563998 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 16:48:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2563998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loved the Tommee Tippee straw cup with handles at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563965 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:37:48 +0000 macintosh 2563965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I love take n toss cups but they are definitely plastic. Sometimes my DS drinks out of my life factory straw bottle, but it's too big for him to hold. The Thermos Foogo is stainless with a plastic lid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563959 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:22:26 +0000 Anya 2563959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: I second the munchkin cup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563958 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:19:32 +0000 youboots 2563958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 4 Zolis </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563955 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:17:26 +0000 snowjewelz 2563955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like Nuby - handles and no handles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563946 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:02:47 +0000 Boogs 2563946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the munchkin one also and it's great. The only issue is sometimes changes in temperature causes leaking, but we've noticed that with pretty much all the others we've tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563945 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:01:13 +0000 LBee 2563945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried almost every straw cup out there. This was the winner: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Click-Weighted-Flexi-Trainer/dp/B00JQSITMI" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Click-Weighted-Flexi-Trainer/dp/B00JQSITMI</a></p> <p>I think that once they get used to drinking out of a cup they stop having preferences / rejecting certain kinds (or at least my son did). I really wanted him to use the take and toss cups because they were so convenient and he just refused until about 15 months. Just keep trying with the Pur! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563942 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 14:59:05 +0000 Tanjowen 2563942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't use the zoli cup for milk as we found it leaked easily. We used it for water and to get our LO used to the idea of a straw cup. </p> <p>My friend that is also very anti plastic uses Green Sprouts straw cups. They have handles and seem to work very well for her little girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-straw-cup-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563854 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 13:29:21 +0000 anniefannie 2563854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all. My little guy is turning 1 next week. (AAAAH!!!) We nurse morning and night and he uses a Lifefactory baby bottle for milk at daycare and a straw cup for water.</p> <p>I am really really anti plastic and have avoided it as much as humanly possible. However he just hasnt been able to figure out the fancy Pur plastic-free straw cup. I want him to use it so badly, but it just hasnt been working. In the meantime, he's been using a Playtex Sipsters plastic straw cup to learn.</p> <p>His daycare teacher recommended that he get a differnet cup that has handles. She mentioned the Zoli cup, but I see some mixed reviews on Amazon.</p> <p>What cup do you like? And any tips on how to get him to use the Pur straw cup? I think it's hard because the straw is so big but not sure....</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
