Advice on toddler cups for 11 month old

[Sianholby]

Hi, I want to move my daughter onto the next stage cup for water, diluted juice.
She is 11 months and has been using the Tommee Tippee Free Flow First Cup since 6 months.
What would you advise as the next stage, I’ve seen ones with straws, ones that are 360 and there’s so much choice.

I bought different cups so DS didn't get too caught up in the "I'll only drink out my special cup" thing (friends child is like this and it's a total PITA).

He uses a normal (plastic) cup sometimes, a glass with a straw, if we're out and about he has one of the cups with the weighted straw (warning - these are a pain to clean), or a normal sports bottle. I didn't like the 360 cups (he got on fine with them).

He only drinks water though, if you're giving juice I'd recommend just a regular open cup because all of the above have little bits that'll go mouldy if they're not cleaned within an inch of their lives.

Stick with water, avoid juice for as long as you can (we avoided it til nearly 18 mo and then only really as we were away somewhere hot and he needed to drink more). But dentists recommend you try to stick to water as far as possible (i've now fallen into a trap where DS is asking for it, and won't drink enough water on its own)

DS is now 2.4

He has a sports cap bottle, doidy cups, 360s, tommee tippy ones and 'normal ones' or with a straw when out.

He's never really got on with 360 cups and frankly they are never as spill proof as they make out!

He still happily asks for the sippy cup, especially if he's having some milk (not a regular offer, just if he asks)

We used one of the Munchkin 360 cups with my DD at that age which she picked up quite quickly and it spilled much less than others. She's now 16 months and using these kind with the straw: www.superdrug.com/Nuby/Nuby-Flexistraw-Cup/p/514920?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp8X4wPjh5QIV1OFRCh2aTgd_EAQYAiABEgKuWfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

If she's getting on well with the tommee tippee cup, she can stay on that unless you have reasons for wanting her off it (like the things being a nightmare to get open).

We have tried all manner of cups for DS, unfortunately there's no other way than to just try them and see what she likes. All babies are different, one friend's DD gets on well with the straw cup, another friend's DS uses 360 cups, etc.
