I’m about to introduce my 6 month old to a sippy cup but have no idea what to buy. She drinks from mam bottles at the moment. Any recommendations for sippy cups?

Munchkin clip lock, tip and sip

Munchkin. Tommy tippy. Mam have a sippy cup it’s pretty good my daughter seems to like having a cuppa tea from it.
It’s a trial and error with baby’s and silly cups unfortunately

Tum tum tippy up free cup is what made our girl be able to drink through a straw by 7 months x

I loved the Munchkin 360 but research has shown they're actually not beneficial for oral and speech development 😩 So I've been using the Tum Tum weighted straw sippy cup instead.
It's a shame because I loved the Munchkin 360!

I’d read about sippy cup vs cup with straw and the benefits/ drawbacks of both before making a decision x

Tum tum cups are great ! They have no valve so good for babies to learn to drink x

You’re much better going for an open cup or a straw cup x

I joined a weaning class and they advised to have a free flow cup so buba can learn to control the flow themselves instead of that sucking motion so I was going to avoid a straw cup.. but not sure after reading the above 😩 x

To be honest, I just use a straw cup from b&m. Simple cup and straw, no special weights or anything with 100 pieces to clean. We also use the tommee tippee sippy cups while we're out and about xx

Tommee tippee free flow cup with handles £2 in savers or Sainsbury’s x

I just use a normal straw cup or open cup since 6 months. I mimicked using the straw and also added a little bit of yoghurt to encourage him to sip from the straw x

Our little girl uses normal plastic cups when we're out and about, I just take one or ask in a restaurant. I found it's the best way as then they're used to drinking from lots of different vessels and glasses.
We also have a straw cup and a doidy which our health visitor gave us x
