Has anyone got any suggestions?
what cups did your little ones find it easy to drink from?

Tum tum straw cups 100%

How old is your little one? Straw cups (valve free) or open cups are generally considered the best options. You can teach them to suck from a straw by putting a small amount of yoghurt on the end so they learn that’s how the water comes up. My LO had a munchkin 360 cup for a while and managed well with it but I read that they encourage unnatural positioning of the neck and jaw so we switched.

I started mine with a standard open cup at 6 months, and by his birthday he was using it independently

How old? As babies one of mine preferred the classic Tommee Tippee one, the other would only drink from the Mam soft spouted cup. Around 1 they both had 360 cups. Then moved onto a Nuk straw cup not long after that. I don’t think it really matters that much so long as they’re staying hydrated and it’s not leaking everywhere in your bag- I’ve never met a 2YO that can’t drink out of a normal cup no matter what they had as babies!

The classic Tommee Tippee. Cheap, easy to clean, easy to drink from, doesn't leak in your bag.
