I am looking to move baby to a cup for morning milk as approaching 12 months. He has tried milk from a no spill Tommee tippee beaker but isn't keen and would clearly prefer a bottle. Please recommend the beakers that your babies have found easy to drink from and to still be able to drink a good amount from.
Thanks Smile

This is the cup that finally got my DD off her bedtime bottle, at about 13m... Wasn't particularly looking to swap but we forgot the bottle when we went to relatives' for Christmas and we found this in boots. Haven't tried to move on any further to a harder spout ... I'm not sure if it's actually any better than a bottle in terms of teeth or whatever it is the HVs worry about!

Whatever we tried, we kept coming back to those free flowing Tommy Tippee cups and beakers.

My ds, 9 months, has just started to use the munchkin 360 miracle cup. I tried several others but this seems to work best and he uses it well himself.

I used the NUK glass bottle with a sippy cup teat rather than the bottle tear for DD2 as she wouldn't tolerate hard plastic.

Munchkin 360 cannot be recommended enough from here. We have 2 year old twins and have been through ALOT of beakers to find ones they enjoy using. Just make sure you completely take them apart for cleaning as they can get manky under the silicon very quickly

Definitely munchkin 360, really good

NannyR · 22/01/2016 09:16

The simplest flip top tommee tippee beaker is the best one I've found. Easy to clean, no parts to take apart and potentially lose and it's fairly leak proof.

bonzo77 · 22/01/2016 09:20

Those nuk learner cups with the soft teat are really good. Though my 3 year old still has his bed time milk in a baby bottle....

We've been through lots!
We use the tommee tippee flip up straw cups for water out and about and for milk DD had a mam training cup for months(got it at 6months for water) and loved it. Doesn't really spill and she loved it. It is dead now though as she bit through the top eventually.
I'm currently trialling an avent my penguin sippy cup I got in tk maxx. They seem to be brilliant, she loves drinking from them, don't seem to leak and are easy for DD to carry around. Just have to make sure the silicon bit with the valves in is on pelroperly otherwise they do leak everywhere. Think it was 2.99!

If you want an open cup, the doidy cup is great, as are the plastic coloured beakers you get in a pack from IKEA.

Thanks for all the responses- the silly app has only just shown me that there were any replies! We went out today so have bought one with a straw as I read someone that leading to drink from a stray develops some muscles in the mouth and should help with speech development (could be lies!) will me trying the miracle cup next if this is a no go tho !

I've tried DS with loads of different beakers and cups for his milk but I can't get him to drink milk from any of them. Water yes. Milk no. He will only take milk from a bottle. Have tried at least 8 different cups and no luck. Sad
