weaning - best open cup?

Hi everyone

Our little one is now 6 months old and weaning, apparently the advice is to use open cups now, was just after some experiences of other parents and which open cups theyve had the best luck with.

I've seen the Doidy cup mentioned on a Mumsnet article so leaning towards that but definitely open to anything better other parents may have found 😀

Well a doidy cup is slanted so you can see if they are about to tip it over themselves. Other than that any plastic beaker will do.

Any cup will do. I just give him from a proper glass, it's his favourite, tastes better than plastic. That's obviously only with my help. We have a few sippy cups dotted around so he uses those too.

We have small, 250ml ish, stainless steel cups. Indestructible and don't taste weird if they go in the dishwasher. They're fab!
