We use a Zoli straw cup for water but I'm not sure what would be good for breastmilk. Any suggestions?

Yeah I agree, the straw is thin on the Zoli Bot and with any kind of milk, it would be difficult to clean all the time. I like Think Baby sippies for milk... they are a lot like bottles but without the nipple shape which can give toddlers overbites For straw cups for milk we use Take n Toss straw cups but not with their straws; I switch them out with flexible disposable straws at every use.

@NYCaliMama: Thank you for your suggestions! Take and toss as a single use seems kinda wasteful...how many times do you use them before you toss?

@autumnlove: they are pretty good quality despite what the name suggests! I remember @Andrea saying the same a few weeks ago. Definitely not one-time use... I switch them out every few months or so, if that. Thing is though, they aren't spill-proof, so it is better to use with an older toddler. My one year old uses them though, but I watch her closely when she does.

Oh I also just remembered that the thermos foogo straw cup is pretty good for milk too. The stainless steel one keeps milk cold for a long time, so it's good for outings. However, like most straw cups, a little annoying to clean. It's also pretty heavy for a young toddler since it's stainless steel. Pros: easy to sip from and pretty close to being 100% spill-proof.

@NYCaliMama: yup! @autumnlove: After trying a bunch of cups, I am just sticking with the Take n Toss now. They are simple for the kids and easy for us to clean. Your DD is a little young so she might spill with it but it will be fine once she is older. I use them for months, too!

We used bottles for milk and sippies for water. Kind of kept things separate. After he was one, no more bottles (but also no more pumping!)
