Is the doidy cup good or bollocks?

[racewhorse]

I'm torn. Could be good, could be a load of shite.

AIBU to be sceptical?

I bought some of the Babycups today (DS 6 months old and about to start weaning)

How do the 360 cups work? Are they as spill proof as they claim? I'm thinking they may be a good option for out and about

My 8.5 month old can drink independently from it now. Very good in my opinion.

Not seen one of those for a while. DD had then when she was small - she's now 17y. They worked for us. We didn't really use sappy cups with spouts on. She went from breast feeding (for a short while) to bottle to dowdy cup to normal cups.

Well - overlap with bottle (milk) and doidy cup (water and later when a little older juice).

Dd went from 360 to a normal cup. She drinks out of anything now but still likes the 360 for milk so she can lie down!

The 360 cups have a rubber seal which means you have to suck to get the liquid out but you can suck at any part of the rim. They’re leak proof to an extent; they do wear out with lots of use.

We didn't really use sappy cups with spouts on

I hope this is a typo for 'sippy'!

Shite

Oops yes! Sippy cup, sorry

It's the reason my 15mo got rid of her NG tube.

She was tube fed for the first year. Only way she can take the daily volume she needs is via a doidy cup.

Shite and we tried all of the popular cups. The health visitors pushed it really early and my daughter just tipped it over herself. Went from the tommy tippee cup with the lid then without it and then straight into a normal cup. We we never really got on with the 360 either annoyingly but straw type ones worked better for us. The doidy just felt more fiddly than a normal cup.

Horrible. 360 all the way.

We’re about to start weaning and I bought one of these after hearing great things. DS is EBF and a bottle refuser so I figured he won’t take a sippy cup, seemed like the best solution. Now starting to wonder whether I’ve made a mistake .

Worked great for my two.

Don't bother. Simple tommy Tippee cup works just fine.

I got a free one along the way and DS2 got on really well with it.

I remember reading that shying that requires sucking wasn't good for teeth so tried doidy cups, which didn't really work. We went from tommy tippy sippy cups, straight into plastic open top brackets and actually (because we have relatively soft floors) chunky small glasses cheap from Sainsburys as they seemed to spill less with a sturdier heavier glass. My youngest was so keen to be 'grown up' that he tried cups much earlier than my first.

Well just the name Doidy by a company called Bickiepegs would be stupid enough to put me off.

Do you not remember bickiepegs? They were hard teething biscuits. Wonder if they still make them

They still do the biscuit things

I found it pointless only used it for a few weeks baby never got to grips with it

We didn’t find it very useful and just used tommee tippees.

I'm going to stick with the 360

Aragog phew! I can't be having sippy cups be the new thing everyone gets weird and sanctimonious about! Obviously my DC went straight from breast to Emma Bridgewater tea set though 😉

I just taught to use a normal small open cup at the table from 6 months, then when they get older and want to carry a drink round/have one by bed etc used the 360 for the non spill factor.
