Silicone Training Cup with Straw Lid, Water Drinking Cup for Babies, from 6 Months to 12-18 Months, Sippy Cup for Kids and Smoothie Cup, Baby LED Weaning (Kiwi, 5 oz)

It's leaking a lot, but the cup might be usable when the kid is older.

We recieved this cup in the mail yesterday, I washed it and tested the straw by myself before giving it to my baby. The suction works just like any regular straw which I LOVE because it means she will learn how to use it. Yeah she's gagged once when sucking up too much water but she's already learning how to control how much water she brings up. When I gave this to my daughter for the first time I wasn't expecting her to know how to use it within the first day but suddenly my husband and I looked over and she'd figured it out. I recommend doing a trick I found online (I only did it a few times) where you: put the straw in the water, put your finger over the top of the straw so that it grabs a small drop of water, then hover the straw over their mouth and feed the drop to them until they start doing an "O" shape with their lips, then put the straw back into the cup and give it to them normal. Within a few minutes she'd started using it correctly. The texture of this cup is super soft but the material itself is firm. I like this because my daughter and chew on the cup when she's teething without it being hard and painful. The bottom is a bit flared and weighted so that its stable when she sets it down but the cup itself is very lightweight (aka easy for my daughter to throw). I didn't realize how tiny it would be! But it's the perfect size for baby hands to comfortably hold onto. It also stores more than enough water for her age (9months). I don't think it'd be enough for 2+ years. The entire time she had it she was flipping the cup over and rolling it and we didn't have any issues with water spilling out. Maybe a few drops but not too much. However, the cup also was less than half full. The cup arrived quickly after it shipped! It was packaged in a bag and even came with a little straw cleaner. I highly recommend this cup if you are skipping the sippy cup like we did.

Nice cup for 6+ month old baby but I preferred something with a slower flow until he got the hang of using a straw. We use it a lot more now.

This cup has been a great tool for helping our baby learn to drink through a straw! The size is perfect for little hands, the soft silicone is gentle on gums, and it's been awesome for mealtime at the table. Our son loves holding it himself and exploring how to use it. It’s technically tip-over proof, which is nice, but just a heads-up, it’s not completely leak-proof. When flipped upside down (as babies love to do), it does leak a bit. Still, it’s one of the better training cups we’ve tried, and we’ll definitely keep using it during supervised meals!

This cup is amazing! My baby hates sippy cups and usually just bites or throws them, but this one actually works. I removed the straw and used the cap, filled it with water, and my baby quickly learned how to drink from it without taking in too much at once, which normally makes her nervous. The soft silicone is durable, easy to clean, and perfectly sized for little hands to hold. I highly recommend it for starting open cup training!
