Transition from bottle to beaker at 9 months - worked for us!, 7 July 2013

I use the tommie tippee first cup for water since I started weaning but wanted to use a different beaker/cup for milk. I bought this for my baby at 7 months because I wanted to start the transition from bottle to beaker for her formula feeds. She wouldn't drink from it initially. So I put it away and tried again the next month. Same response. She just seemed confused and found it difficult to drink without dribbling milk everywhere.

Not deterred, I tried AGAIN at 9 months. SUCCESS! She's that bit older and holds it herself to drink. She seems to be able to drink out of it now without any dribbles. She does have a good burp at the end of it so I guess swallowing air might be a problem for some babies. The spout is soft enough to be gentle on her gums and new teeth. She is old enough to tilt her head back and tilt the cup up to get every last drop of formula. It has markings up to 6oz/180ml on the side so you can make feeds accurately directly in the cup - useful for me as...

Okay cup, great for teething, 20 Jan. 2013

This is a nice cup, with a softer spout than the hard tommy tippee cups. Seems more difficult for my baby to drink form this than the Tommy Tippee cups though - more spillage and has a lot of wind after, as seems to have to suck on it although is free flow.Best use for it is for my daughter to use to rub her gums on whilst teething. She loves doing this and the squeaky sound it makes she thinks is hillarious.Handles are good and easy to hold and doesn't leak.

Good value, does the job well, 26 Nov. 2012

Nice bright colours, my 15 month old likes drinking out of this beaker as it looks kind of toy-like. Spout firm enough to withstand chewing etc but not so firm it'll damage gums etc and spout can be flipped down which makes it convenient for travelling. Handles make it easy to hold. Only minimal leaking when tipped upside down as the lid doesn't come with a value - but does not impact the product really.
