We got the MAM trainer cups and she absolutely loves them, they are quite spongy on her gums which seems good for her’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Sammilouwho Our Verdict Separate every part cup, making sure any straws and detachable mouthpieces are separated from the main cup too.
I would definitely recommend this cup to friends and family and have already done so. The little design is great and my daughter seems to like it. I use this as her water cup and it works so well! I couldn’t be bothered with getting the baby used to a bottle and to need to wean them off it for a year. We used a NUK soft spout cup, so somewhere between a bottle teat and a regular supply cup” - recommended by Mumsnet user, Callamia. Our Verdict Trying to reduce your plastics? You’ll love Klean Kanteen’s stainless steel water bottles for kids as it’s a bottle for life, which reduces wastage. The Classic Sippy comes with a spill-proof sippy cap and dust cover for little ones, but it’s also compatible with Klean Kanteen's bamboo, sports and loop mouth pieces so it can grow with your child. The bottle itself is virtually bomb-proof - it doesn’t scratch or dent, so it'll survive as time goes by. Just don’t lose it (eek!).
5. Best eco-friendly sippy cup: Klean Kanteen Kid Classic Sippy
I would most definitely choose this beaker above all others - I loved it so much that I shall be buying my twin girls two more. I absolutely love the fact that the lid is a measuring cup and have never seen anything like that on the market.
The classic cup has been a favourite with parents for years and it can be found in most supermarkets. There are cheaper cups, but we think it’s excellent value for money as a solid, well-made model from a trusted premium brand. With a low-ish price tag, you can buy a few (one for at Grandma’s, one for under the pushchair…) without breaking the bank. This product makes my life easier as my daughter can now feed herself using this little cup, which then frees me up to do all the other jobs I’ve got to do. Even though this cup looks different from her milk bottles, she took to it straight away which is testament to the quality of the product! The design is really cute and the handles are the perfect size. degree design – Rather than having a spout or one opening, a sippy cup with this design can be sipped from any angle around the edge. This also makes it easier to move your child onto a beaker or cup. As with anything, the sooner you introduce the item to your baby, the sooner they'll recognise it as part of everyday life – rather than introducing it all of a sudden to a toddler who'll naturally treat it as suspicious and fling it across the room in distrust. Are sippy cups bad for babies? Choosing a sippy cup without many separate parts will make your job easier overall, but here's how to clean your baby's sippy cup:Other features of sippy cups include the handles, which are sometimes removable, 360-designed lids which mean they can be sipped from any angle and your child's sippy cup should always be BPA-free to avoid toxins. You may also be able to find the perfect sippy cup as part of your baby's weaning set so everything matches and is familiar to baby. Looking for something that will keep your DC’s drinks cool? Insulated cups can help and we like the look of this one, as Munchkin is generally a loved brand by parents - including Mumsnetters. It keeps drinks cool for up to 10 hours in the insulated, double-walled stainless steel cup. With its soft, silicone, free-flow spout, this cup from NUK is a great choice for breastfed babies as it mimics the shape and feel of a breast while teaching them to sip from a cup. It’s a great place to start for your baby to develop more strength and coordination before moving onto an open cup or similar.
It may take a while for your baby or toddler to get used to it, whether they have been feeding on the breast or bottle, but when it comes to how to transition your baby to a sippy cup, practice and perseverance are what's key. You may find it easier to go from a bottle to a cup as your child will have grown used to holding the bottle. I don’t think I would choose this product over all others on the market, as my son finds the teat quite big for his mouth. We also found the top very fidgety when screwing it on. On the plus side, as the bottle is quite tall, it fits in the highchair drinks holder easily, as the handles don't get in the way. Another plus is the amount of liquid the bottle holds, which comes in useful especially in hot weather.I would like there to be more colour options for the beaker as I have three children who fight over whose is whose. Maybe the beaker could have a bigger handle as my son had trouble getting his fingers through the handles. Tested by mum Samantha Kirby for the Mother & Baby awards 2018: Sippy cups are great if you're trying to minimise mess, but consider their use as a short-term solution and intersperse their use with free-flow cups. You could use your sippy cup just for when you're travelling out and about rather than in the home. How to introduce a sippy cup to your baby Yes, I certainly would recommend this to a friend and family as the design of the bottle made it easy for my son to drink, without any risk of choking. What is great is that you can turn the bottle upside down and no liquid leaks out, this makes mealtimes much less messy! The bottle is also very easy to clean. When the teat is bitten, all the liquid pours out, which makes my baby splutter. I imagine this is a common problem as babies begin to latch. This could maybe be considered in the future when MAM design teats for future bottles. Tested by mum Caitlin Kelly for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
We have lots of Klean Kanteens here. They can be pricey, but have really lasted and certainly do the job. Love the wide openings for ice cubes etc.” - recommended by Mumsnet user, IndecentFeminist Our Verdict Capacity: 250ml | Recommended age: 6 months+ | Material: Polypropylene, High Density Polyethylene and Thermo Plastic Elastomer What we love The NHS recommends sterilising all feeding equipment every time you use it for at least the first 12 months of your baby's life. How Mother&Baby selected the best sippy cups Munchkin Miracle 360. Was the only thing my daughter would drink out of. Tried loads of different cups before, but she refused them all” - tried and tested by MyLittlePony374. Our Verdict Boisterous or busy toddler on your hands? Kids aged 3+ won’t argue over the Camelbak Eddy (we can hope…) thanks to the fun, adventurous designs. They’re made for flip, bite and sip use with a straw, a button-press lid and a valve that delivers a steady flow. Important for active toddlers, they’re supposedly leak proof when closed and spill-proof when open, and our Mumsnetter’s review supports that.Pricey but can replace the spout if needed, rather than the whole thing (just don't lose it, kids!) Doidy Cups may not look terribly modern. In fact, this same design has been around since the 1950s but we say: if it ain’t broke, why fix it? The Doidy is a slanted cup that's easier for babies to sip from than an ordinary open cup. It’s loved by healthcare professionals because of the independence it brings, the fact that it’s an open cup (the Holy Grail of cup training!) and the way it helps children to develop hand-eye coordination. The downside? You might end up with a few spills on the floor. We’re always fans of a product that does two jobs at once, like this clever little beaker which also functions as a nightlight! Invented by a dad and industrial engineer, the Litecup has a smart, well-thought-through design in a range of colours. It’s a 360-degree free-flow spout to let children sip from any side of the cup; it has easy-to-grab handles; and it boasts a light-up base. Just bear in mind that if you're using the lid for nighttimes, it won’t be completely free-flow. I would recommend this bottle as I loved the colourful design and the shape of the bottle. It easily fits in changing bags and doesn’t leak, provided the lid is fitted correctly. It holds a large amount of liquid which is great if out for the day! The product is very easy to clean and easy to store while at home.
