Cup for milk? Recommendations please!

DD is nearly 15 months and I'd like to get her to drink her milk from a cup, not a bottle. Her bottle has never gone beyond a size 3 teat due to early reflux, which is now fine.
I tried using her soft spout sippy cup that she first used for water but the milk came out too fast for her and she refused to drink it. She currently uses a munchkin miracle cup for water (with that jazzy seal thing?) But I don't like the look of it for milk as I couldn't be certain the seal was clean. We practice at breakfast time with a normal open cup but it's long winded, messy and not suitable just yet.
I've been looking at a straw cup (she can drink from my straw bottle and loves to steal it!) for her but I've no idea what to go for - does anyone have any recommendations? Looking to order ASAP :)

The seal comes away from the cup - just pull it off and clean it.

Same as @Ostryga the Miracle ones are definitely the best and the seal comes off for washing up. You just yank it upwards and it sort of pops as it comes off.

@ostryga @happytimetunneldinosaur

So I know the seal comes off but the hole underneath (where it attaches to the white part) I don't feel like I can get inside to clean it properly and then when left to dry, it sometimes still has water in in the morning which makes me think it would be unsuitable for milk?

Happy to be corrected!

Cow cups! My two have been using them for years (since weaning from boob at 2+ish) and at 5 and 7 still do as it stops them lobbing/dribbling milk all over the sofa. Will try find a link hang on!

Following. DD 13 months is in the same situation. We bought a tommee tippee cup with a slow spout but she seems to guzzle and get grumpy which isn't like her.

Don't be put off by a couple of the negative reviews (just read them which has prompted me to post), they are available on Amazon too so have a look over there and check out the q&a section if unsure! Good luck!

The milk doesn’t get in there - it comes through the holes in the white part of the cup.

Honestly used one for milk for 3 years and never had any issues (apart from Dd hiding them and me finding them full of rotten milk after a few weeks!)

My DD is 13 months and likes her avent sippy cup. The liquid doesn’t just flow out so she has to suck a little bit to get it but it’s not like she really has to work for it. You can completely take it apart to wash it.

I had one of these when I was little for my bedtime milk and I'm nearly thirty! They weren't cow print but still definitely a haberman anywayup cup. My mum kept them until we were in junior school for long car rides and such the like. Can't believe they're still going to be honest
