Doidy Cup, 3 Months +, Baby & Toddler First Open Cup, Ergonomic Slanted Design for Training & Learning to Drink, weaning Essentials for Milk & Water (Red)

We’ve had this cup since my baby was six months old. She was breastfed prior to weaning but occasionally had expressed milk from a bottle.For the first month or so very little water got consumed. I would tip it for her and she would poke her tongue inside and lap at the water like a kitten. Just when I was about to give up something clicked for her. She now gulps water quite successfully with every meal.At nine months, I still hold the cup for her and tilt it. Some days she likes to wash her hands in the cup (fine by me, there’s less scrubbing to be done in between her fingers) and some days she still misjudges things and ends up coughing and spluttering. She likes playing with the cup when it’s empty too. She’s successfully drunk from it totally independently on a couple of occasions, but I think if I was a bit more relaxed about water ending up all over the floor she might be able to do it a bit more consistently by now.I’ve only used the cup at home so far, because of the mess. I haven’t bought a sippy cup to use out and about because I don’t want to confuse her, she just breast feeds on the go. I think this cup is great and with patience and perseverance she’s getting there.I’m not sure who these child geniuses are who can use the cup from twelve weeks. Don’t expect those kind of results for every baby!Update: at about 18 months she is now very confident to drink out of more or less any open cup, as long as she is seated. I do think the doidy cup helped because she was able to start practicing with it so youngUpdate for baby number 2: I tried a sippy cup for my second baby to minimise mess, but he couldn’t work out what to do with it! I’ve gone back to the Doidy cup after about a month of no water being consumed and he loves it! Very similar results to my first baby at nine months.

Decent quality and good value for money.

Got this to help our baby with BLW. The design makes it easy for them to sip from without sticking into their face, the shape also supports drinking with less spilling than standard cups as you can tip it further. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great invention. Our son is quite boisterous and end up throwing his cup/plate etc on the floor though. So we use this when we are around to help guide him. Then use a covered cup which he can freely roam with. It’s very intuitive for the infant to use though, with a sloped side so they only need to tilt it a bit. It makes it easy for them to hold.It’s very easy to clean, it’s just a cup. The colour is really nice too, it’s a teal colour. It’s a small cup and a great size for a baby/infant/toddler.

Great item easy for my boy to use

Brought this for my 2 year old as she was constantly spilling her drink from a regular cup.The slant on the cup means she doesn’t have to tilt the cup as far to get a drink, so she can take smaller sips with less tilt, rather than tipping the cup too far and spilling it all down herself.It’s hard to explain how it works but it does!!!It has two handles which are great as she has better control when holding the cup with two hands.The only issue I have found is if she is walking with it, water spills out the opposite side easier if she tips the cup that way when not paying attention. So we are using it just for training, and not to have a drink to walk around with, which has been good because to it’s a novelty to use a grown up cup and be able to do it herself without spilling! She loves using it, and is therefor drinking more water too, so it’s a win, win!I’d definitely recommend, it’s really helped build her confidence and skill!

Arrived as described and on time. These cups are much too big for my 7 month old, and too angled for my friends 2 year old (who is now used to "normal" cups). The handles are not easy for a baby to grasp. I'm not really sure what developmental stage these cups are aimed at.

To say this item was life changing sounds like an exaggeration but it’s true!My baby has refused a bottle since day one but we tried this cup on the recommendation of a friend and it’s brilliant. She drank every drop of expressed milk meaning that I’ve had a lot more freedom and she can now be left for longer periods with her dad or grandparents.It’s also been great for weaning and teaching her how to sip. She can now drink from any open cup and she’s only six months.I would give this product six stars if I could! Amazing
