You definitely need to suck harder to get the water out because the spout isn't soft at all. I didn't think my LO knew how to drink from it but my DH proved me wrong the other day!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AVENT-Toddler-Handle-Ounce/dp/B005SASCAM/ref=sr_1_14?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1351552807&#038;sr=1-14&#038;keywords=avent+sippy+cup" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AVENT-Toddler-Handle-Ounce/dp/B005SASCAM/ref=sr_1_14?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1351552807&#038;sr=1-14&#038;keywords=avent+sippy+cup</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-366751 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:11:54 +0000 regberadaisy 366751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going with the zoli bot! Waiting till after her 6 month check up to ask when to start water before buying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-366660 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:31:54 +0000 brownie 366660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son has had no problems with any cups we've given him. We loved the tommee tippy explora cups and now use the straw ones. We also have used a kids camelbak from the time he was 6 months old. </p> <p>There are avent cups that have a weird top but they simulate a real cup better. I like them but my little boy knows how to press the top down to let the water out and likes to spill on purpose (hes 18 months old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-366658 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:29:33 +0000 BoogieBea 366658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with the NUK sippy cup. Both my kids took to a straw cup faster than the sippy cup though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-366652 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:26:25 +0000 Mrs Checkers 366652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a starter sippy, I'd recommend anything with a soft spout. The Tommee Tippee Explora cups worked well for us; I've heard the Nuby soft spout ones work well too.</p> <p>Once Aliya learned to suck through a straw, we really liked the Playtex Lil Gripper Twist &amp; Click Straw cup.</p> <p>We had to try a few different ones to see which ones Aliya liked, so it may be different for you too. This is one baby item where I would not necessarily go by the reviews on the internet because every child is so different and likes different cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-363917 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:18:19 +0000 creativemomma15 363917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the playtex sippy cups for my 7 1/2 month old. He loves picking them up and drinking from them. The handles make it easy for him and I've never had it leak. </p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4413379" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4413379</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-363913 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:11:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 363913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have several - so far I like the Tommee Tippee one best. Also have the zoli bot straw cup but L definitely has an easier time with the sippy cup so far </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-363882 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 10:29:06 +0000 lemondrop 363882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Avent sippy cups, <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3856978&#038;view=all" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3856978&#038;view=all</a></p> <p>We have used their bottles with MAM nipples, and the sippy cup parts are interchangeable with their bottles. To start, we just used the handle top on one of his bottles, so he got used to hanging onto it. </p> <p>Now I just keep one of the sippy cups full of water- we haven't had more than a drop or two leak out, so I feel confident giving it to him to hold in the house and car and not worry about spilling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sippy-cup-recommendations-1#post-363878 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 10:17:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 363878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading to start my 8 mos old on using a sippy cup. I've tried to teach him to drink from a regular cup and he doesn't grasp the concept of swallowing so he lets the water dribble down his chin.</p> <p>What are some good sippy cups - easy to handle for babies less than a year, easy to suck to get liquid, but also doesn't leak? Oh and less than $15 :)</p> <p>thanks!! </p>
