I'm looking for a cup with a lid (if you know what I mean. I had 2 (tommy tippy and something els) but it keeps on spilling. What can I get that doesn't spill.

And how do you teach your child to drink out of a cup? so everytime I give her something to drink I must be with her so that she doesn't pour everything over her?

sorry, stupid mama

we use the avent magic cup which has a valve to make it non-spill. We also have a cow patterned cup which ds (11 months) has his milk out of - it has a valve that you can keep in or remove to make it free-flow.

I found this beaker and this cup are 100% satisfactory having tried all sorts!

DS1 poured everything over him. DS2 wanted a cup earlier so he could copy us and DS1. Now at 15m DS2 can drink perfectly out of a cup cos we started him with just the teeniest amounts in the bottom and each time he tipped it to his face the drink mostly went into his mouth, then we just put a bit more in.
The style of cup I found doesn't help as its the child learning not to tip the whole drink all over himself that is the key and will happen when the child is ready.
I think you should be with a young child when they have something to eat or drink anyway, in case of choking? How old is she?
