Which Sippy Cup?

[mustincreasebust]

After trying to get my 16 week old baby to take a bottle of EBM, I finally accepted defeat. She is just made of sterner stuff than every member of my family who has tried to feed her with every teat and bottle out in the market.

I am going to try to see if she will take a sippy cup now . Can you all recommend a good one for BF babies? I am turning to you MN ladies in hope as its my best friend's hen do in 2 weeks and I really really want to make it. Its a day long event far from my home so unless I can be sure that my DD will be able to have 2 or 3 feeds of EBM I probably wont go

I think the Tommee Tippee freeflow first cup is good. It doesn't have a non spill valve so they don't have to work as hard. It's always been DD's preferred cup and she's bf. It's this one

Thanks CharChar

Did she drink enough to constitute a feed from it? i.e 4 or 5 ounces? >

She did after a little while of getting used to it. I think it all depends on whether they like it or not, but my friends' babies who were also bf liked that cup as well. Just a case of keeping on practising with it once you've bought it. Your DD will prob be more keen as it's EBM, I only offered DD water as I couldn't express. Good luck!

A doidy cup

Oh yes forgot about doidy cup. DD loved that as well and prob drank more from it than the tt come to think of it. It's a bit more messy but they are good.

I was going to recommend the same ones as charchar .

I bought every cup under the sun for my pfb and stupidly disregarded this one thinking it not sophisticated enough for a young baby's needs () when I eventually tried this one she took it straight away. With DD2 she took it in preference to a bottle (she was very reluctant to take a bottle). I have just bought a blue one for DS and plan to not even bother with bottles after 20wks of exclusive bf (no ebm - I didn't get round to it ).

My DDs have theirs next to their bed at night now - def a good buy.

ds has a doidy cup, he can drink out of it with help but often pours it over his head. Good for learning!

the tt freeflow is the easiest to wash as well

the sodding Avent Magic cup is like stripping down a machine gun

lol at stripping down a machine gun. One of DD's is like that and I never use it tbh as it's too much faff. Did have to stick a pin down one of the spout holes on the tt cup though as DD managed somehow to stuff food down it. My tt cup was only 1.50 from Wilkos too so complete bargain.
