I was at my wits end having agreed to do a few days in the office next month ages ago back when my baby was combi feeding breast and bottle. Since then she went off the bottle completely. Tried all sorts of tricks and 7 different brands and different teats nothing worked. We got this and wow. It's a little messy especially at first but she actually drinks from it and I was surprised at how quickly she took to it, she did about 30mls the first time and built up to 90mls after a few days.

Good idea as little ones can see what they are drinking. My son hasn't quite got the idea of it without help just yet but he does drink from it well.

Beautiful colour, defiant design. My little one is still not able to grab it but is learning well to drink from it (instead of the feeding bottle).

My son has Down's Syndrome and attends a special creche for children with additional needs, where they use doidy cups. I decided to get one for him to use at home as well, and am stunned by how well he uses it. With all other sippy cups he seems to have no concept of the fact that tipped upside down they will spill, and yet with this cup he is careful to put it down on the table or give it to me when finished. Although the slanted design makes putting it down a bit disconcerting, it is brilliant in that he can see the drink as it comes towards him, rather than tipping his head forward to see and not getting any drink, or alternatively tipping it too far back and shocking himself. All in all a great product for teaching children to drink (and about gravity!).

Today my son, who is now almost 7 months, leaned forward in his high chair seat, picked up his doidy cup with both hands, accurately brought it up to his lips, tipped it up and gave himself a drink of water. It was fantastic to see him do this for himself. (He then gave us both a shower by enthusiastically banging the cup on his tray, but nevermind, it was nearly bathtime anyway!). Seriously, I believe these cups are recommended as they encourage the development of facial muscles - needed for a child's speech development. You have to expect a bit of wet mess (and I wholly recommend those bibs with a fleecy front panel which absorb the spilt liquid brilliantly). And yes it is a little less convenient when on-the-move than a sippy cup, but I still think that a child's development - through experimentation and practise using a doidy cup - is more important than our own convenience, most of the time anyway. A child is going to use a mug/adult cup eventually anyway, so why not give them something similar but a little more manageable to start with? Goes very much hand-in-hand with baby led weaning principles I think, if you are folowing this approach, but anyone can benefit from using them.I now want to add (Summer 2013)-four years later: I still have this exact same cup, and intend to use it for my third child in a few months time! It has stood the test of time. They are very sturdy. I would still very much recommend this product.
