Is it unreasonable for a 3 yr old to use a beaker?

[bigmummal1]

Would be grateful of opinions.

My ex partner complained to me a couple of days ago for letting my DC use a beaker to drink out of. He can use a cup, but at times it is safer to use a beaker i.e in the car.

Would be grateful of thoughts please. I don't feel that this is unreasonable.

no, not unreasonable at all.
ds1 still very occasionally uses a beaker and he is nearly 5!
he has to have one when drinking hot chocolate on the sofa because it inevitably gets spilled otherwise

My almost 5 yeah old daughter still has her milk in a beaker. She has a cup for water or juice but milk has to be serves warm in the beaker.. It's just how she likes it. Not the end of the world

sod your ex

no.

Sports bottles are very good - very "big boy"

Thanks everyone, I knew I wasn't being ridiculous!!
